Fellaini not bothered by Man Utd position

Marouane Fellaini is not too worried by his position at Manchester United despite the summer arrivals of of Bastian Schweinsteiger and Morgan Schneiderlin.

The additions of the star midfielder pair may have Fellaini ducking for cover but the Belgian international is convinced that he will still play an important part for the Red Devils this season, as he did last season when Louis van Gaal used him as a target man.

"I don't mind where I play, I just want to do well for the team and win," he said. "The manager decides, but he knows my qualities and what I can do, but I like to play there [further forward] and it worked well last season when me and Ander [Herrera] were behind Wazza [Rooney].

"I know I can be dangerous in the penalty area and I know I can score a goal. But we have new players now, and a lot of players who play in different positions, so we will see.

"It's just important for me that I don't have any injuries and that I am fit when I start my season."
