Maradona might be absent, but Fellaini warrants praise, according to Mourinho
In an exciting turn of events for Manchester United, Marouane Fellaini and Diogo Dalot are set to make their mark in the upcoming games. Belgium international Fellaini, who scored the decisive 91st-minute goal against Young Boys, sending United to the last 16 of the Champions League, is in line for a second successive start. His impactful performances against Young Boys and Derby County have strengthened his case, with manager Jose Mourinho praising his contributions to the team. Mourinho acknowledged that Fellaini is not a Diego Maradona, but he credited him for delivering in crucial moments. His goal against Young Boys was his second in Europe's premier club competition, a testament to his ability to rise to the occasion. Fellaini's goal against Derby County in the EFL Cup loss in September was another example of his knack for scoring important goals that have given United vital victories. As for Diogo Dalot, the Portuguese defender, who was developed by FC Porto before his transfer to Manchester United, is expected to make his Premier League debut. Dalot has been training for two weeks and is now considered ready to play. Despite his struggles with fitness since joining the club, his potential is undeniable, and Mourinho believes he is now ready to showcase it on the field. However, United will be without Victor Lindelof, Marcos Rojo, and Matteo Darmian for the Southampton game due to injuries and unavailability. Mourinho is well aware of the positions and jobs Fellaini can play, and he believes that everyone knows what the midfielder can give in terms of his contributions to the team. He also expressed that people now give Fellaini what he deserves, a sentiment echoed by the passionate celebration of Fellaini's goal, with Mourinho throwing a crate of bottles onto the Old Trafford touchline. As Manchester United prepares for its upcoming matches, the return of Fellaini and the anticipated debut of Dalot promise to inject fresh energy and talent into the team.
