Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has announced his retirement from football after struggling with a knee problem for several years.
The Belgium international made over 400 appearances for the club during his time at Old Trafford, scoring 28 goals and providing 55 assists in all competitions.
However, he struggled with recurring knee problems throughout his career, which ultimately led to him announcing his retirement earlier this week.
In a statement released by Manchester United, the club paid tribute to Fellaini's contributions to the team and wished him well in his future endeavors.
"Marouane Fellaini is one of our most decorated players ever," said manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. "He was a fantastic servant to the club and we wish him all the best for the future."
Fellaini's departure comes as a significant loss for Manchester United, who have struggled without their midfield maestro in recent seasons.
Despite his struggles with injury, Fellaini remained a popular figure among fans and teammates alike, known for his hard work and determination on the pitch.
His retirement marks the end of an era for Manchester United, but it also leaves room for fresh talent to step up and fill the void left by Fellaini's departure.
