Paul Ince believes Manchester United midfield duo Ander Herrera and Marouane Fellaini are not suited to the club and should leave.

Herrera, who missed the last two matches against PSV Eindhoven and Leicester through injury, is a fan favourite but is struggling to establish himself as a first-teamer under Louis van Gaal, while Fellaini has started just one Premier League game this season.

“When they bought Herrera I thought it was a lot of money and when I first saw him he was small and looked quite weak, especially for the Premier League,” former United midfielder Ince said.

“I watched him play in Spain and he suits the Spanish game but I don’t think he suits the Premier League. When he plays he gets forward and gets a couple of goals but Van Gaal has gone for two strong ones sitting in there and it’s hard for him to fit into that.”

“I’m not sure he’s going to be a regular in a Louis Van Gaal side and although he’s a very good player he’s just more suited to Spain.”

Ince, who won two Premier League titles, two FA Cups, the League Cup and the European Cup Winners' Cup during his six years with United, also feels Marouane Fellaini is at the wrong club.

“ I feel sorry for Fellaini because the price tag was a lot of money,” Ince told 888Poker.com . “ He played decent for Everton as a number 10 under Moyes but there are certain players in certain teams under certain managers who suit each other’s styles.

“With Fellaini I think he’s a very intelligent player but he’s at the wrong club. For a player of that ability to come on for the last ten minutes in every game more or less just for long balls… I think he’s better than that and he deserves a chance. It’s also a sad indictment of United not creating enough chances when they have to throw on Fellaini and put balls into the box.”

“He might decide that’s enough come January because every player wants regular football and he’s too good of a player to be sitting on the bench.”
