Steve Round: 'Marouane Fellaini to add goals to Manchester United midfield'

Round: Fellaini to add goals to United midfield

Manchester United assistant manager Steve Round believes that new signing Marouane Fellaini can regularly grab at least 10 goals per season for his new club.

The Belgian midfielder, who recently signed for United for £27m, only accomplished the feat once during his time with Everton, though Round feels the midfielder can develop his goalscoring ability while at Old Trafford.

"He will add some real physical presence to us in midfield, some strength, and he scores goals," Round told MUTV.

"He's a player that will get regular double figures, and he is maybe a player that we didn't really have in the middle of that midfield."

Fellaini is likely to make an appearance for United this weekend as they face Crystal Palace in Saturday's early fixture.
