Even Twitter knows how happy Manchester United fans are with Marouane Fellaini being dropped

#NoFellaini

Marouane Fellaini has a love-hate relationship with Manchester United fans.

He has had his moments for the club, but very few of those moments have come this season, and a collective groan tends to ring out whenever he is named in the starting line-up.

The Belgian was dropped for the trip to Sunderland, with Morgan Schneiderlin taking his place, and to say United fans were overjoyed is putting it mildly.

When the phrase ‘No Fellaini’ is trending on Twitter, that proves a lot of people are using the phrase. And we doubt they’re all just repeating team news without passing judgement.

Are they excited about Jesse Lingard getting a chance to add to his goal against Chelsea?

How about the prospect of youngsters Will Keane, Donald Love and James Weir on the bench?

Nope, the thing they’re most happy about is a player being dropped.
