Marouane Fellaini is known in the football world for his afro, but the Man United ace is attracting attention for sporting a new and daring look. The midfielder decided on breaking away from his traditional look in a photoshoot for GQ magazine.
But all he did was get himself trolled. His new look saw him likened to Mickey Mouse, as many on Twitter could not help but make jokes at the expense of the Belgian.
Fellaini touched upon an array of topics, from his relationship with Mourinho to Belgium’s World Cup hopes during the interview. Unfortunately, it was that eye-catching hairdo that did the rounds on social media. Check out the best trolls.

Despite his Old Trafford future being under huge doubt, the former Everton man has played a pivotal role in the squad under the Special One. He has battled with injuries this season, but was called upon in the recent 2 1 win over Liverpool in the Premier League.
This photoshoot by the 30-year-old comes ahead of the Red Devils’ important Champions League clash with Sevilla. The English giant will host the Spanish outfit after earning a goalless draw in the first leg.
Fellaini will likely play a role in Mourinho’s midfield. With the likes of Paul Pogba and Ander Herrera are likely to miss, meaning Marouane’s height and physicality will be key for the home side.
