Manchester United have been dealt a fresh injury concern after Marouane Fellaini suffered a knee injury whilst on international duty.

Fellaini was substituted in the 29th minute of Belgium’s match against hard fighting Bosnia Herzegovina yesterday. The Man United midfielder was replaced by Leander Dendoncker after receiving treatment following a knock to his left knee.

Jose Mourinho is likely to be furious with the injury to one of United’s recent star performers as he prepares for a trip to face Liverpool in the Premier League next week.

The 29-year-old has received a lot of plaudits recently as he continues to replace the injured Paul Pogba at the heart of the United midfield.

Fellaini’s resurgence at Old Trafford has seen him labelled as ‘undroppable’ by large sections of the home crowd with manager Jose Mourinho also keen to recognise his ability.

“Marouane is just the fact I think he has important qualities and I try to use these qualities depending of the situation, depending of the team’s needs.

“He’s a team player, a great character, we have a good relation and things are going really between us.”
