Marouane Fellaini's Manchester United Role Questioned by Marc Wilmots

Belgium manager Marc Wilmots does not believe Marouane Fellaini is being utilised correctly at Manchester United.

According to the Times' Rory Smith (h/t ESPN), Wilmots believes the two primary roles he has played under Louis van Gaal this season—as a holding midfielder or up front—are not suited to his game:

I know him by heart. In my eyes, he is a box-to-box [midfielder]. He could also play as No. 6 by himself, but not with a partner.

He has the ability to play on the offensive too, as Everton used him.
