The answer to the Manchester United scoring woes is… Marouane Fellaini?
Well, I guess we’ll find out. Can’t hurt, right?
‘He can play in a nine position and a 10,’ United Manager Louis van Gaal said of Fellaini.
‘He can also play at six and eight, but this year he shall play more at nine and 10 because there we have other players.’ (transcript Daily Mail)
Van Gaal discusses tomorrow night’s match alongside Marouane Fellaini. There’s some talk her about the idea of Fellaini as a forward; which is not an entirely new idea. Van Gaal has kicked it around before. There certainly do need something dramatic to give a booster shot to their anemic offense.
(At least in Premier League play it’s been bad)
There have been much worse ideas than this in the past; tried recently. I’m optimistic about the chances for Fellaini, but we’ll see.
