Keith Curle: Fellaini 'Unplayable' At Times

Louis van Gaal is right to consider playing Marouane Fellaini as a striker, according to Carlisle United manager Keith Curle.

Van Gaal's side have struggled in front of goal so far this season, scoring just twice in three Premier League games, but Curle believes the Belgian has the potential to be a success up front at Old Trafford.

"He's definitely a player that, on his day, is unplayable with his size, athleticism and ability to hold the ball," said the Cumbrians manager.

"He's got a willingness to arrive in the box and he's a big strong lad. He's probably more gifted on the ground and his finishing ability than people give him credit for.

"During his time spent at Everton he had to do a lot of work for the team. I think he's had a settling in period now at Manchester United and I think it's time now for him to bring goals into his game."
