Marouane Fellaini Refers to Manchester Utd's FA Cup Opponents Derby as 'Country'

Joe GallagherJan 29, 2016

England's cup football competitions regularly pit some of the country's biggest football clubs against lesser-known sides.

And not all of the big sides' stars have the foresight to study up on their next opponents, resulting in the occasional faux pas.

Chelsea's Eden Hazard confused League One outfit Shrewsbury Town with a fruit after the Blues' League Cup win in 2014, and now his Belgian team-mate Marouane Fellaini has had a similar stumble when previewing Manchester United's FA Cup fourth-round tie against Derby County on Friday night.

The FA Cup looks like it's the Red Devils' only real chance of silverware this term, so you can't blame Fellaini for keeping his focus on on-field matters rather than the difference between a "county" and "country."
