Manchester United Fans Mock Marouane Fellaini as Club Post Get Well Message

Manchester United spent a reported £27.5 million on Marouane Fellaini on deadline day, but the former Everton midfielder has had a couple of nondescript matches for his new club so far.

To make matters worse, the Belgian has now suffered a wrist injury which looks set to rule him out for the best part of two months.

So when United took to Facebook with a message to wish Fellaini the best in his recovery, they were probably anticipating a series of positive messages from fans.

Instead, the comments were full of disparaging messages about their midfielder.

One fan, Louise Clarke wrote: "Wont be missed."

Another by the name of Joel Fellows asked: "How does your wrist affect a game played with your feet?"

He might have a point—quotes, per ESPN.co.uk, have subsequently appeared from Fellaini's Belgium coach Marc Wilmots suggesting the midfielder could feature for his country this week wearing a splint on his wrist:

"

He will join the squad and train on Tuesday with a splint.

As far as I am concerned, in principle he is able to play Friday. This does not mean that he will automatically play. I have not heard from Manchester United asking that the operation should be as quickly as possible.

"

The rest of the comments veered from calls for Shinji Kagawa to play more to a lone voice of reason from fan Ruben Garza, per the link below, suggesting that, perhaps, just perhaps, Fellaini needed more than five games before judgements could be made:

"

Since when did it become cool to hate on Manchester United players, Whatever happened to team and player support? Give the guy a chance. He has potential give it a little more time.

"
