Marouane Fellaini gave Manchester United fans a reason to be glad during a baffling evening, but it wasn't related to his performance on the pitch...or sort of.
The Belgian footballer took Paul Pogba's place on the pitch during the nightmare of a game against Tottenham, but even if some didn't notice, he picked up an injury to his left leg moments after he entered the game. Eventually, Jose Mourinho decided to use his last substitution to give way for Ander Herrera, and Fellaini left the pitch in record time.
7:29 - Marouane Fellaini spent seven minutes & 29 seconds on the pitch after coming on as a sub, before being subbed off again. Fleeting.

Even Manchester United's Twitter feed revealed the reason why Fellaini left the pitch after seven minutes.

Needless to say, and being one of the most trolled footballers in Manchester United history, fans and experts had a blast slamming Fellaini's seven minutes on the pitch.
