Fellaini expresses relief on securing Manchester United switch


Manchester United's latest recruit Marouane Fellaini has admitted that he was relieved after having completed his switch to the English champions with minutes to spare on deadline day.

The 25 year old was constantly linked with a move to Old Trafford and reunite with David Moyes throughout the summer. However, the red devils kept it till the last moments of the window before wrapping the deal up.


Fellaini admitted that he is extremely excited on his move and believes that United have a good enough squad to defend their Premier League title.


The Belgium international told Sky Sports : "It was a great week for me. It was nervous on Monday, but I have my transfer and I won with Belgium, so I'm happy.


"When I started the campaign with Everton, I looked forward for a transfer and in the end I am happy.


"I look forward to playing with the players. I need to work hard for my place. I want to win something with Manchester. I want to play a lot of games and win a trophy.


"It will be tough, every year it is tough for the big teams. But I think Manchester United have quality to win the trophy. I look forward to this.


"It's a big step for me. But I have played for five years in England, I know the league and I know the players, so I don't think I will have a problem with this move."
