Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has announced his retirement from professional football due to an ongoing injury.
The Belgian international had been plagued by injuries throughout his career and was forced to retire in January 2019 following a knee ligament tear sustained during a match against Everton.
Despite returning to training earlier this year, Fellaini struggled with the physical demands of the game and ultimately decided that it was time for him to hang up his boots.
In a statement released on Wednesday, Fellaini said: "It's been a long journey and I've learned so much along the way.
"I want to thank everyone who supported me over the years - my family, my friends, my teammates and fans."
Fellaini began his career at Lille before moving to Manchester United in 2014, where he made over 250 appearances and helped the club win the Premier League title in 2017-18.
His departure from Old Trafford will be a significant loss for the Red Devils, but his legacy as one of the most talented midfielders in English football will continue to be remembered for years to come.
Overall, it is sad to see Fellaini retire after such a successful career, but we wish him all the best in his future endeavors.
