“massive game” against Wolfsburg on Tuesday but believes
his side have already shown the strength of character
necessary to qualify for the Champions League knockout
stage.
United travel to the Volkswagen Arena in their final Group B
fixture knowing that only a victory will guarantee them a
place in the round of 16, with the 0-0 draw at home to PSV
in their previous fixture having left them on the brink of an
early exit.
Fellaini admits it is a huge fixture for his side, and one which
will require 100 per cent focus.
“In the Premier League every game is different, every three
points is important because at the end of the season you
can win the league. But against Wolfsburg it’s a massive
game because it’s qualification for the next round,” Fellaini
told Goal .
The Belgium international insists that the Red Devils have
what it takes to advance, with the come-from-behind 2-1
home win against Wolfsburg in their Old Trafford meeting in
September proving a notable example of their fighting
qualities.
“We have the mentality and the character to come back, the
spirit, which I think is the most important,” he added. “So we
will see, but I think it will be a massive game. We have
[already] played against them. But we know it will be a
different game because they are playing at home.”
The 28-year-old made only his second Premier League start
of the season on Saturday in the 0-0 draw with West Ham,
but he insists that his experience at Manchester United
remains a positive one and cites the Champions League as
a huge part of that.
“Of course. It is a big competition playing against great
teams, against great players. The rhythm of the game is
different to the Premier League, playing more tactically as
well. It is a good experience, of course.”
