Marouane Fellaini has spoken of a tough first season with Manchester United. Fellaini was ex-United boss David Moyes' only signing of the 2013 summer transfer window for £27.5million from Everton.
Asked if felt he was made a scapegoat last season, Fellaini said: "Yes a little bit. That is a difficult question. It is difficult to answer that.
"I didn't lose faith in myself. In football you have to be strong in the head. The mentality is important and I do have this quality so I can keep going.
"My family helped me through it. I was also in the national team for Belgium at the World Cup and I played well and the team also played well. For my confidence that was important. I came back after the summer confident.
"The manager said to me I would have to fight if I wanted to play. I did fight and trained hard and that was it. When I got my chance I tried to show myself and tried to do my best.
"Last season was a difficult season for me. The World Cup helped me a lot. The manager of the national team and the players helped me and it was a great experience for everybody."
