Fellaini, 28, revealed in April that being unpopular with the United fans has sometimes been hard for him and that he believed that it could be down to his association with former manager David Moyes, who signed him from Everton.
“You can see him driving a nice vehicle and you think, “This guy is not thinking about football”.
“Last season is something I don’t want to go into too much where Memphis is concerned; all I know is the player that I watched in the 2014 World Cup and the player I watched many times at PSV”, he said speaking ahead of today’s clash with Bournemouth.
‘The kid thinks about football, the kid suffers because he is frustrated with what happened last season where he lost all his conference. But Mourinho insists there is still a long-term future at Manchester United for the Belgium worldwide.
“He fits in my plans, that’s why he’s on loan and that why he’s on loan at a Premier League club”, said Mourinho.
‘But if he plays like he’s playing now, they have to love him because he’s being so important for us’.
Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini is a target for Turkish giants Galatasaray, according to Mynet.
Depay didn’t make the bench for last weekend’s Community Shield win against Leicester but Mourinho has confimed he will keep the Dutchman this season and he will get gametime. Sunderland have also been linked with the Belgian.

Fellaini established himself as a key player for David Moyes at Everton, picking up the accolade of the club’s Young Player of the season in his debut campaign, and going on to produce 33 goals in 177 appearances for the Toffees. Jose Mourinho is also believed to prefer Fellaini over Juan Mata as he believes Fellaini provides more of a physical presence.
