Chinese Super League season, which had been originally due to kick off in February, will be played under a different format instead of the usual home-and-away competition.

Marouane Fellaini is the first confirmed case in the CSL, dealing a blow to the league's hopes of starting the season as early as next month.

Belgium midfielder Marouane Fellaini, Portugal right-back Diogo Dalot, Scotland's Scott McTominay and Chile forward Alexis Sanchez all returned from international duty carrying knocks.

Neymar has grabbed the spotlight in Russia not for his goal-scoring abilities but for his theatrics.

Belgium coach Roberto Martinez said his side should accept they will be the underdogs in their World Cup quarter-final against star-studded Brazil on Friday.

Marouane Fellaini's new contract has the option to extend for a further 12 months after the two years have expired

Manchester United have now sealed their place in the Champions League next season and moved closer to their target of finishing at least second best to champions Manchester City.

Jose Mourinho threw on Juan Mata and Marouane Fellaini in the 63rd minute but bizarrely took Fellaini off just seven minutes later.

Fellaini added a late second from Jesse Lingard's cross-shot to send Jose Mourinho's side back to the top of the table after Huddersfield Town briefly overtook them by drawing with Southampton earlier in the day.

Booked for tripping Aguero in the 84th minute, Fellaini fouled him again seconds later and then blatantly butted the Argentinian, leaving referee Martin Atkinson no option but to send the Belgian off.
