Marouane Fellaini out until February after Manchester United midfielder undergoes wrist surgery The Belgium international has since played on with the injury, but with the back problem failing to clear as quickly as expected, manager David Moyes has now sent the player for surgery on the wrist in order to resolve that ongoing problem. But with the back showing now sign of clearing, United have chosen for Fellaini to go under the knife now in a bid to have him fully fit for the second-half of the season and the Champions League round of 16 tie against Olympiakos. Fellaini, a £27.5m signing from Everton on the final day of the August transfer window, has struggled to impress since arriving at Old Trafford. He has made 11 appearances in all competitions and started just four league games, without scoring a goal. His poor performances have led to some United supporters nicknaming Fellaini the "Lampshade" due to his apparent lack of mobility and hairstyle.
