Former Manchester United No2 Rene Meulensteen doesn't believe Marouane Fellaini is a long-term prospect for the club.

The Dutchman says Fellaini doesn't fit the stereotypical United player.

"Juan Mata's a good player and so are Ander Herrera, Wayne Rooney, Robin van Persie and Michael Carrick. It's about circulating the ball. That's one of the reasons why I think Marouane Fellaini is not a United player. I don't think he has that attribute in him, that constant circulating the ball.

"Every team can still create a lot of problems for United. Look at Stoke in the last 10 minutes. They need a general in the midfield, a leader like Roy Keane,'' he told the Telegraph.
