Fellaini thrilled to contribute to Man Utd win on CL debut

Marouane Fellaini was extremely pleased to help Manchester United to victory in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

The Red Devils beat Bayer Leverkusen 4-2 at Old Trafford to kickstart their campaign in Europe this season and Fellaini was chuffed to be a part of it on his Champions League debut following his deadline day move from Everton.

"It's my first game in the Champions League so I am happy to play," the Belgian midfielder told Sky Sports.

"We won and that is good for the confidence for the next game because that is a derby and a big game for Man United (at Manchester City on Sunday).

"I play with top players - (Wayne) Rooney, (Robin) van Persie, (Antonio) Valencia, (Shinji) Kagawa, (Michael) Carrick, so it is easy for me to play."
