Fellaini determined to prove his worth at United Posted: 20 Jun 2014 09:54 AM PDT The Belgium international arrived at Old Trafford as David Moyes' first marquee signing in September2013, but the former Everton midfielder struggled to find his form as injuries hampered his progress. When fit,Fellaini was far from the midfield powerhouse who had impressed at Goodison Parkand the 26-year-old came in for criticism at his lack of consistency. Fellaini failed to find the back of the net in his 21 appearances for United and admits it could have gone better, but is determined to show his worth under new managerLouis van Gaal. "Everybody knows my club season was one to forget," he said. "I'm the same Marouane. "United signed me one year ago. There have been some positives and some negatives, like the bad injury I picked up. Also, our team didn't quite click into place. "But now we have a new manager, we'll see what happens next season. In the meantime, I am concentrating on my national team. "I don't play here (the FIFA World Cup) for a transfer. We'll see with the new coach, but I still feel good at United." Fellaini showed his quality in Belgium's opening FIFA World Cupgame on Tuesdayas he came off the bench to begin the side'sfightback against Algeria, with Marc Wilmots' men eventually winning 2-1.

Herrera focused on Athletic Bilbao future Posted: 20 Jun 2014 08:59 AM PDT The 24-year-old is among the most highlyrated young midfielders in Europe and has reportedly attracted interest from the likes of Manchester United and Chelsea in the past. Whilethose links are likely to resurface following another impressive season with Athletic, Herrera'sagent Arturo Canalesinsists thathis client is not thinking about a switch. "There's nothing new. There have been rumours all year saying United wanted to sign him and then Jose Mourinho and Chelsea, but I haven't heard anything," he told AS. "The focus of the player is Athletic and nothing else. "Ander is on vacation and he only thinks about next season with Athletic, because he is very excited to play in the Champions League with this team." Herrera underlined his intention to stay with the club last month, having played 33 times in La Ligalast term as Athleticfinished fourthto secure a UEFAChampions League spot.

Fellaini: Ill shave hair if Belgium win World Cup Posted: 20 Jun 2014 08:04 AM PDT Fellaini was on the scoresheet as Marc Wilmots' men began their Group H campaign with a 2-1 victory over Algeria. That triumph has further raised hopes of Belgium, considered darkhorses before the tournament began, going on to lift the trophy. Fellaini certainly believes that is possible, saying: "Belgium are capable of winning the World Cup. If that proves the case I promise that I will shave my hair." The midfielder also claimed he did not enter the showpiece with an extra point to prove despite a poor first season with Manchester United. "For me the match was not a case of answering my critics," he added. "I don't owe anybody anything. "My goal is to score for the team for my family and for the country. I had a difficult season but now I am at the World Cup and I am focussed on the national team." This posting includes an audio/video/photo media file: Download Now |
Palace open to Zaha return next season Posted: 20 Jun 2014 07:31 AM PDT The winger, who joined United from Palace in January 2013, spent the secondhalf of last season on loan at Cardiff City but failed to make an impact as they were relegated from the Premier League. Under former United manager David Moyes, Zaha was rarely used at Old Trafford, but the arrival of Louis van Gaal may give him a lifeline. However, if the Dutchman does not want the 21-year-old next season, Parish says he would be keen to take him back, providing manager Tony Pulis wanted him. "It depends on what the new Man United manager wants but also what my manager wants," he is quoted as saying bythe Croydon Advertiser."My manager has got to be convinced that it would be the right move for the player and the club. "Tony has certainly shown enthusiasm during the season for that and knows what a fabulous player he is. "But the circumstances for the player and the money and for everything would have to be right." Parish was also quick to point out there will not be a big influx of players at the club as there was before the start of last season. "I think we'll be looking for quite conservative options that we know can take us to the next level," he added."We'll be trying to get value for money for the football club."
