Marouane Fellaini insists he was right to snub Arsenal - despite a difficult start to his Manchester United career.
Despite interest from the Gunners, the Belgium midfielder quit Everton for Old Trafford in a £27.5 million transfer deadline day deal.
Since then, Arsene Wenger’s side have raced clear at the top of the Premier League, while United languish in eighth.
But Fellaini, who was left on the bench for the Red Devils' narrow
home win against Stoke on Saturday, says he has no regrets about moving
to Manchester - and linking up with his old boss David Moyes once more.
The 25-year-old told The Sun: "I knew United were interested in signing me — just as Arsenal were.
"But it was United who snapped me up.
"David Moyes did everything to get me.
"I leapt at the chance to work with Moyes.
"I spent some fantastic times with him at Everton.
"Moyes will succeed given time.
"He is trying to continue Alex Ferguson's work as manager.
"We may not be top of the league but we are not far off." Support: Marouane Fellaini says David Moyes will succeed at Old Trafford given time
