Former Manchester United boss David Moyes has bizarrely heaped praise on Marouane Fellaini for his “world class chest control”.
Moyes brought Fellaini to United for £27.5million from Everton in 2013 during his one season in charge at Old Trafford.
Five years later and the powerful Belgian is still battling to win over the supporters, who have mixed views over Fellaini’s contributions.
When invited to talk about Fellaini on the radio, Moyes didn’t wait long to credit the 31-year-old with the best chest control in the world.
“He’s got fantastic chest control, like you can’t believe how good his chest control is,” Moyes said.
“I would say he’s the best in the world with controlling with his chest. It sticks, it’s soft. He’s a problem to the opposition.”
“He’s the best in the world when it comes to using his chest.”
“Myself, Van Gaal and Jose have all used him in the big games.”
