da esport bet： Newcastle should launch a loan move for Manchester United misfit Marouane Fellaini this January, as Rafael Benitez looks to keep the club in the Premier League.
Newcastle have seen a move for Miguel Almiron drag on, and Fellaini offers a perfect alternative in attacking midfield.
What’s the word?
United have enjoyed a brilliant start under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, winning their first six games in all competitions under the management of the Norwegian.
Fellaini, though, has played just three Premier League minutes since the sacking of Jose Mourinho, and was not even handed a start in the FA Cup victory over Reading, instead playing 28 minutes as a substitute.
Fellaini was a key lieutenant of the Portuguese during his spell at the club, but Solskjaer has surely earned the right to have some say in how United operate in the January transfer window – and talkSPORT’s Jim White claims he wants rid of the towering midfielder.

The Belgium international was not even included in the squad for the wins over the Magpies and Tottenham, and the former club offers an intriguing option for the attacking midfielder.
Fellaini has played over 170 times for United in total, scoring 22 goals and providing 12 assists, but he is not in Solskjaer’s plans.
Mike Ashley, while stingy in the transfer market, should see this as the perfect opportunity to placate the club’s fans and manager alike with a surprise loan bid.
A bulldozer of a signing
Benitez certainly needs bodies in this transfer window.
The Spaniard has reportedly been pushing Ashley to sign Almiron from Atlanta United, but the two clubs have seemingly reached an impasse over his asking price of £25million.
Fellaini, of course, is a markedly different player to the MLS sensation, but he potentially offers more as an immediate signing given his Premier League experience.
Almiron is slight of build and a tricky playmaker, while Fellaini is something of a brute, at his best when bulldozing his way through opposition defences.
Newcastle do not need subtlety at this stage of the season – they need proven Premier League talents like Fellaini, who can help them over the finish line in the race for survival.
They are languishing in the relegation zone, and the addition of the Belgian would add an extra dimension to the club’s attack.
Plus, it would surely appeal to Ashley, given the lack of transfer fee involved in the deal.
Fellaini earns a hefty pay packet at Old Trafford, but United may be willing to subsidise his weekly wage in order to shift him from their books.
If the deal is concluded, it could end up saving Newcastle’s season, and would do little damage to Solskjaer’s United squad.
