Keown: Fellaini deserves his Man Utd place

Arsenal hero Martin Keown feels Marouane Fellaini is warranting his place in Louis van Gaal's Manchester United team.

Keown wrote in the Daily Mail: "Watching Marouane Fellaini at the World Cup, he did well operating in a midfield three. In his last two United games he has played in a similar role - on the side of a diamond that can become a three. He looked much better for it.

"It's a role that allows him to break forward from deep but also help out and cover when needed. United have finally found some rhythm and the system seems to be improving, but the problem now for Van Gaal is picking out his best XI."
