‘I’m not a dirty player’ : Man Utd’s Fellaini
Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini said in a Saturday television interview that he is “not a dirty player”, after being branded a “thug” by former referee Howard Webb.
“OK, I am physical, I like to win my challenge, but I am not a dirty player,” Fellaini told the BBC’s Football Focus programme.
Webb, who refereed the 2010 World Cup final, made the “thug” comment after Fellaini caught a couple of players with flailing elbows during United’s Europa League elimination by Liverpool on Thursday.
