Marouane Fellaini urged to leave Man United by Belgium coach Marc Wilmots

Marouane Fellaini should consider leaving Manchester United in January, says Belgium coach Marc Wilmots.

The forward has only made three starts in all competitions this season after serving a three-game suspension to start the campaign, though he has come on as a substitute nine times.

Wilmots did not select Fellaini to the Belgium squad that beat Italy last week, and the coach said the 27-year-old needs to see the Old Trafford pitch more before Euro 2016.

"A player who does not play for his club is annoying for a coach," Wilmots told Le Soir.

"Fellaini could play to support the attack, as the No.6. He has very good technique, very good ability to track back and recover.

"Maybe he will try to find a new challenge in January, if it is possible."
