Keane claims Fellaini is the scapegoat for Manchester United fans

The former Old Trafford captain believes the Belgian has been unfairly criticised during his three years at the club

Roy Keane has defended Marouane Fellaini’s form for Manchester United and believes the Belgian has become a scapegoat for fans.

Keane’s Republic of Ireland face Belgium on Saturday with both sides looking to secure their first victory in Group E at Euro 2016,

Fellaini was brought to Old Trafford by David Moyes in a £27.5 million deal from Everton and has struggled to secure a regular role in United’s midfield.

But Keane believes the 28-year-old has made a positive impact in his three years at United.
