We can win the title, insists Fellaini

Manchester United are without a win in their last four matches in all competitions

LONDON: Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini insists under-fire boss Louis van Gaal will silence his growing band of critics by winning the Premier League this season.

Van Gaal had endured a barrage of abuse from unhappy fans during last Saturday’s 0-0 draw against West Ham, but that was nothing compared to the insults thrown at him after United suffered an embarrassing Champions League exit on Tuesday.



With a host of former United stars, including Paul Scholes and Roy Keane, queuing up to question van Gaal following that 3-2 defeat at Wolfsburg, the pressure is mounting as the Dutchman takes his spluttering side to Bournemouth.

United are without a win in their last four matches in all competitions and reports claim van Gaal has lost the support of sections of his squad.



But Fellaini is adamant van Gaal retains the full backing of the dressing room. “We trust him,” said the Belgian. “He is the manager, it is his philosophy and we have to continue like that. I am sure the goals will come. Yes, of course [we can win the title]. At the moment we are in the top four, we are there.”



United could be facing fourth bottom Bournemouth at the worst possible time as Eddie Howe's team will be buoyant after their surprise win at Chelsea last weekend.
