Marouane Fellaini has spoken of being barracked by Manchester United fans last season.

The Belgium international struggled to justify his £27m price-tag during his debut season at Old Trafford and came in for huge criticism from the United faithful.

"Last season we didn't play well as a team and it was easy for people outside the club to say it was me because the manager brought me with him, but that was something I had to deal with," the 27-year-old told The Times.

"It was a difficult moment because in all my career I hadn't experienced anything like it.

"I learnt a lot. I care about what people have to say, of course, but my concern was for my family, my mum and dad and my brothers, because when [critics] are saying bad things about me, it will have been very hard for them."
