Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal says Marouane Fellaini will stay in the side after a rough beginning to his career at Old Trafford.

The Belgium midfielder suffered a mixed first season at Old Trafford after David Moyes signed him from Everton for £27.5m but has been much improved under Van Gaal.

Man Utd host Aston Villa on Saturday, with the chance to close the gap to Chelsea at the top of the table to five points.
