Ex-Standard Liege president backs Fellaini for Napoli move

Former Standard Liege president Luciano D'Onofrio says Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini would be a success with Napoli.Napoli are in talks this week with United for the Belgium international.

D'Onofrio told TMW: "I'm not aware of the negotiations between Fellaini and Napoli. I was never his agent!

"I've known him very well, having been his president at Standard Liege. About a possible move to Napoli, I can only say that Marouane has the qualities to play for the best teams in the world, being able to play anywhere.

"It's why I think it can be justified, the enthusiasm for his eventual purchase. And in any team, he will go to give the maximum. Fellaini was one of the best players I've ever seen at Standard Liege, is a humble guy and very professional."
