Marouane Fellaini is ready to look Louis van Gaal in the eye and tell him he wants to fight for a future at Manchester United.

The Belgian midfielder became the embodiment of a season of failure at Old Trafford when he followed David Moyes from Everton in a £27.5million deal last summer.

And there are suggestions that new manager Van Gaal has told United to accept cut-price offers of £15million to claw some cash back.

But Fellaini, who scored for Belgium against Algeria in midweek, said: “I want to meet Van Gaal and look him straight in the eye.

"I am not playing at this World Cup for a transfer. I feel good at Manchester United. I have to admit that this season was one which I want to forget as quickly as possible. But I am still the same Marouane.”

In the eyes of many United fans, Fellaini is seen as the man who

most reflects a season of disappointment under Moyes’ management.

After a summer of frustrating transfer misses, the lanky Belgian was presented as United’s star recruit. But he made just 21 appearance for United last season.

Fellaini added: “There are positive and negative sides to the story of last season. One big reason was that I got injured and the team never got going into a good playing style.

“Because I know the reasons behind it all, I am not focusing on a transfer or a way to get out of Manchester United. I have a lot of respect for Louis van Gaal.”
