Fellaini was so poor against Bayern that he wasn't even given a rating! Spanish paper AS slams under-performing United man

Marouane Fellaini has come under siege from all quarters during a dismal first season at Manchester United, but Wednesday morning may prove to be the lowest moment yet.

The Belgian was so abject - yet again at Old Trafford - that Spanish newspaper AS refused to give him a rating.

It's hardly surprising. Fellaini stands at six feet and four inches, yet somehow lost 83 per cent of his aerial battles against Bayern Munich. He is a big, imposing central midfielder but lost 76 per cent of his tackles.

They are damning statistics for a man who cost Manchester United a staggering - at the time, and definitely now - £27.5million from Everton in the summer.

Bill Kenwright must have been laughing all the way to the bank, particularly as the Toffees replaced him effortlessly.

Fellaini has steadily has got worse as the season has gone on and was the figure of fun across the continent as national newspapers laid into him after a gutless display in the Champions League quarter-final first leg.

AS were so incensed by his effort on Tuesday night that they didn't even give the 26-year-old a rating.

They weren't the only ones to slate him either.

German paper Bild were spitting at Fellaini afterwards. They mark players on a scale of 1-6, with five being the worst.

Typically, the flop was handed a 5.

Sport, a publication in Spain, gave him a 5 in their normal ratings system.

Fellaini's performances have come under question for the entirety of what has been a turbulent season for United.

And it is his difficulties that rather encapsulate the problems at Old Trafford.

On a night when most in red played for their manager and for the cause, Fellaini was found wanting on more than a few occasions.

Sportsmail's Chris Wheeler wasn't too impressed either, penning in his ratings that Fellaini: 'Looked out of his depth at times and didn't pick up his man for the equaliser,' giving him a measly 4.5.

It wasn't much better during the weekend win against Aston Villa, with Sportsmail's Adam Crafton giving him a 6, writing: 'Still looks out of place in a United shirt. Clumsy in the tackle, unadventurous in possession.

'Three starts in the past week suggests he will be spared a starting place against Bayern Munich on Tuesday.'
