Marouane Fellaini claims playing under David Moyes at Man United was 'the worst season of my career'... and admits he struggled to be the 'first signing after the Sir Alex Ferguson era' following his £27.5m move from Everton

Marouane Fellaini has admitted his first year at Manchester United was 'the worst season of his career' as the club struggled under David Moyes.

The Everton manager was a surprise choice to replace Sir Alex Ferguson at Old Trafford after the legendary Scot stepped down after 27 years at the helm.

Fellaini followed Moyes through the exit door at Goodison Park a few months later, when he joined United from Everton on deadline day for £27.5million.

The Belgian played just 21 games in all competitions in his first season and failed to score and unwittingly became a lightning rod for United's decline under Moyes, who was sacked nine months into his six-year deal.
