Manchester United is delighted to announce the signing of
Belgian midfielder Marouane Fellaini from Everton for an undisclosed fee.
Marouane,
25, from Etterbeek, Belgium, joined Everton in 2008 and made 163 starts and 10
substitute appearances for the Merseyside club, scoring 32 goals. A full
Belgium international since 2007, he has earned 42 caps to date, netting seven
times in the process.
Manchester
United manager David Moyes said: “I have worked with Marouane for five years
and I’m delighted he has decided to join Manchester United. He is a player with
great ability and strength and I think he will make a real difference to our
squad.”
Marouane
Fellaini said: “I am thrilled to sign for Manchester United. I have known the
manager for many years now and I have a lot of respect for his way of working.
When I was given the opportunity to work with him again, I jumped at the
chance. I had a fantastic time at Everton and I’d like to thank all the fans
and staff there for everything they have done for me. But being a Manchester
United player is something that every player dreams of and I believe that I can
make a real contribution to the team’s efforts to win trophies in the
future."
