Manchester United
has completed the
signing of Everton
midfielder Marouane
Fellaini on a long-
term deal, the Toffees
confirmed upon the
close of the summer
transfer window.
The Belgian
international heads to
Old Trafford for a 27.5
million pound fee,
according to Everton, and he will be reunited with
former manager David Moyes, under whom he
starred at Goodison Park.
Fellaini is Moyes' first major transfer signing, and
he reportedly submitted a transfer request Monday
to waive any loyalty-bonus payment in order to
facilitate the move, and he provides a significant
boost to Manchester United's aerial game and
midfield.
Fellaini is one of a few Belgian internationals who
was on the move Monday, with Romelu Lukaku
joining Fellaini's former side Everton on loan from
Chelsea for the season and defender Toby
Alderweireld leaving Ajax for Atletico Madrid.
United had also hoped to sign Leighton Baines
from Moyes's former club, but the Toffees
rebuffed those advances throughout the summer,
with the reigning Premier League champion never
meeting the 20 million pound valuation of the left
back.
The Red Devils missed out on another midfield
target, Athletic Bilbao's Ander Herrera, as the club
did not meet his release clause.
