MAROUANE FELLAINI has hit out at his treatment in England as he considers his Manchester United future.
The towering Belgian claims he has been branded a “murderer” over his physical style – and has to deal with rivals tugging on his famous curls.
Old Trafford chiefs are trying to extend his contract – but his latest comments suggest the midfielder is leaning towards an exit.
Fellaini, 30, told Belgian magazine Humo: “They have labelled me an aggressive player, a murderer.
“Look, I’m fanatical. The team that wants it the hardest wins but there have been times when I came out as the villain.
“What should I do if they pull me by the hair? It sounds like a joke, but it really hurts.

“Last season I was suspended after the derby against City for a headbutt against Aguero. He stepped towards me and then dropped dead. But, no, I get the red.
“Players often try to provoke me but do you know how many yellow cards I collected last season? Four, in 45 matches. I’ve never destroyed someone’s career.”

Fellaini believes his World Cup dream was almost ended by a Shane Long challenge which went unpunished – in another slap in the face.
He added: “Do you see how insanely good luck I had? He could have broken my leg. Without the tape around my ankle, it was definitely broken and I would have been out for six months.
“If I did that, I’d be suspended for three games, maybe five. I swear to you. He got a yellow, apologised, and that was it.”
