Manchester United have triggered a clause in Marouane Fellaini's contract that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2018.

Fellaini signed a four-year deal with the option of a further year when he joined from Everton for £27.5m in 2013.

United boss Jose Mourinho has activated the option despite uncertainty over the 29-year-old midfielder's future.

Fellaini was booed by his own fans last month but scored in the EFL Cup semi-final win against Hull on Tuesday.

The Belgium international ran to Mourinho to celebrate his goal in what seemed to be a show of recognition for the faith shown in him after a difficult period, which included giving away a costly penalty at Everton on 4 December.

Speaking after Tuesday's victory, Mourinho said: "He has a very strong mentality and has coped well.

"He knows he is a very important player for me."

Hi, I have supported the REDS since 1963. I was 10yrs old and taken to Wembley. I thought I was going to watch York City who I supported. but when two teams walked out 1wearing blue and white the other red and white I said I would support the team in red as they play in the same colours as York City. 53 years later still supporting both clubs.

I went to the game against Feyenoord the other night with my girlfriend. The Stretford End was the noisiest part of the stadium to us. We were in the Sir Alex Ferguson Stand, and no-one was singing near us at all.
Games in the Premier League are different, and this is why i think so.

In the Premier League supporters are only permitted to buy one ticket per member, but in other competitions, members can take up to 6 guests! These guests are only there to see the famous Man Utd, The stadium and the experience of a matchday, when The Premier League attracts the more die-hard supporters.

So how can we as supporters improve the atmosphere on these games and what can the club do to help? Does anyone else have a similar experience or similar thoughts?

And what happened to the pub? That used to build an atmosphere hours before the game!
