Belgium coach Roberto Martinez has declared Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini a "warrior".

Martinez values being able to call on Fellaini.

"I think he is a player that you have to work with to appreciate what he really brings," said Martinez. “I think he gets underestimated in his technical ability. I think he is a footballer that has got a level of technical control and ball control a lot higher than people think."

“He was born to compete. He is a winner. I think he finds football as a good opportunity to show how life should be. His interpretation of life is the way he runs the football game. As a team player he always sees that every action is the end of the world and that makes him a warrior and someone that every coach and manager would love to have in his team."
