Marouane Fellaini delivers to repay Jose Mourinho's faith

Manchester United 2 Hull 0: Marouane Fellaini repaid Jose Mourinho’s faith with a late header that gave Manchester United a 2-0 EFL Cup semi-final advantage against injury-ravaged Hull.

The Belgium midfielder has long been a divisive figure at Old Trafford and has even been jeered by pockets of home fans recently.

However, Fellaini has been continually backed by Mourinho and ended last night’s first-leg encounter with the Stretford End chanting his name after he nodded home a late goal to add to Juan Mata’s close-range opener.
