Because Mourinho is a stubborn pissbaby who can only comprehend one insanely boring way of doing things.

Fellaini regularly scores big goals and plays selflessly, but many Man-U fans still hate him. The guy can’t catch a break.

It shouldn't have been his own goal. He's not the one who put it on target.

Sure, because the 99,9% of the time when he isn't actively scoring goals, he usually either doesn't help the team or worse, actively hinders it. He's suited only for one style of play, and that style happens to be awful and boring, and whenever he's on the pitch that's the way United play. He can't pass, he can't hold up the ball, he can't do pretty much anything else than be a big man in the box who occasionally wins headers.

E: someone else put it better:

quote:

Fellaini can be a game-changer, but he can also get United stuck in the mud, especially against top-quality opposition.

This season, he has scored just four Premier League goals, but there have been no assists, despite his aerial prowess and ability to knock the ball down for his teammates.

According to official Premier League statistics, Fellaini has not even created a goal-scoring chance this season. He has delivered just three crosses, with a 0 percent accuracy rate, and has produced no through balls.

How about the defensive side of Fellaini's game? Well, again using Premier League data, he has made 15 tackles, with a 53 percent success rate.

He has won four 50-50 battles and, when it comes to aerial duels he has won 33 and lost 21, so he is perhaps not the unique game-changer that Mourinho believes him to be.

Fellaini has made a valuable contribution at United, but while he remains at the club, will they truly be a challenger for the major honours?

As it stands, his presence gives Mourinho the easy option to go long and resist a more creative approach.

Clubs who win the biggest prizes rely on skill, craft and flair to break down stubborn opponents, rather than a player like Fellaini, because creating gaps in the final third is a much more reliable way to score than launching the ball on to a big midfielder's head and hoping for the best.
