The recent use by the manager of Marouane Fellaini in that position can only have been a plea for additional resources. Certainly it can't have been driven by the Belgian's qualities in that position. His clumsy attempts to elbow his way to the ball were easily dealt with by Swansea City's defence, his presence a distraction rather than an assistance to team mates. How Van Gaal must envy Mauricio Pochettino. Right now his world view would have been so much more encouraging had he arrived at old Trafford to find a Harry Kane in his reserves. Jim White
