Louis van Gaal praises Marouane Fellaini quality

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal hails the performance of midfielder Marouane Fellaini in the FA Cup victory over Preston North End.

Manchester United manager Louis van Gaal has said that he was pleased with the performance of Marouane Fellaini in the FA Cup victory over Preston North End.

The Belgian midfielder scored United's second goal as they came from 1-0 down at Deepdale to beat their League One opponents 3-1.

The result moves United into the quarter-finals of the competition, where they will now face Arsenal.

"I have used him a lot of times already, more than ever and he's scoring more than ever," Van Gaal told Sky Sports News.

"He's a player who, when we cannot beat the pressure, with his quality we can always beat the pressure."

Fellaini has scored four goals for United this season.
