Marouane Fellaini's red card was not his first controversy at Manchester United... Sportsmail takes a look back at some of his contentious moments

Marouane Fellaini - football's equivalent of Marmite it seems. A player who splits opinions among Manchester United's own fanbase, had a performance on Thursday night which encapsulated his Old Trafford career at present.

Playing admirably in midfield as United kept Manchester City at bay, the midfielder inexplicably lost his cool as he was sent off for headbutting Sergio Aguero in the closing moments of the match.

His four years at United have been topsy-turvy but he finally had seemed to settle down and even captained the Red Devils as they beat Sunderland 3-0 earlier this month.

However, as Thursday night proved - controversy has always been not too far away from the Belgium international.
