Fellaini hoping World Cup ends Man Utd doubts

Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini admits he's using the World Cup to make up for last season's struggles.

Fellaini scored in Belgium's win over Algeria yesterday.

He endured a difficult season at United following a £27.5million move from Everton, but before the tournament coach Marc Wilmots predicted that 'the World Cup will be a good opportunity for him to take his revenge'.

After being reminded of Wilmots' anecdote, a smiling Fellaini responded: "I hope he's right.

"I've definitely been looking forward to this tournament. It's my first World Cup and it's amazing to be part of it all.

"Every player in the world wants to be here, so I appreciate this opportunity very much. I just want to make the most of it now."
