fellaini

Former Everton star,  Marouane Fellaini,  had only been on the field for two minutes as a United substitute when he tripped Idrissa Gueye unnecessarily and Baines made no mistake with a clinically-taken 89th minute penalty.

The midfielder’s error could be the last straw as far as United fans are concerned, many of whom were left seething at the final whistle.

When asked of his decision to throw him into the game late on, a visibly mad Mourinho said the reason for introducing Fellaini was “obvious” due to his height and Everton’s approach.

“I thought you would know more about football than you do,” the Portuguese added at a post-match news conference.

“Everton is not a passing team any more like they were in the past. Everton is a team that plays direct: goalkeeper direct, Ashley Williams direct, Ramiro Funes Mori direct. Everything direct.

“When you have on the bench a player with two metres [in height] you play the player in front of the defensive line to help the team to win the match.”

United took the lead at Goodison Park through Zlatan Ibrahimovic’s lobbed finish and were looking to wrap up only their third league win in 11 games when Fellaini replaced Henrikh Mkhitaryan in the closing minutes.

Just two minutes later, Fellaini went in with a clumsy challenge on Idrissa Gueye and Leighton Baines equalised from the spot.

Below are some of the most hilarious tweets from Manchester United fans who were baying for the former Everton midfielder's blood.
