Wilmots tells Fellaini to leave Manchester United

With Marouane Fellaini struggling for starts at Manchester United, Belgium coach Marc Wilmots says he should consider a January exit.

Belgium head coach Marc Wilmots has advised Marouane Fellaini to leave Manchester United or jeopardize his place in the national team.

The midfielder played an important role in Louis van Gaal's first season in charge but has been limited to just three starts this term after missing the first three Premier League games due to suspension.

Fellaini was ruled out of Belgium's squad for the win over Italy and the cancelled friendly with Spain as a result of an injury, but Wilmots has urged the 27-year-old to consider his future in January with Euro 2016 looming at the end of the season.
