Marouane Fellaini shows off dramatic new haircut

Some people need to get a fake moustache and sunglasses to go out in disguise,  Marouane Fellaini just needs a haircut.

The Manchester United star has cut off his distinctive curly locks which have been a trademark of his appearance since moving to the Premier League with Everton 10 years ago.

But the midfield battering ram has now opted for a neat and tidy short cut, posting his new appearance on social media.

Uploading his new, almost unrecognisable appearance, Fellaini tagged his photos with 'new year, new look #birthdaytommorow' in reference to his birthday which is on November 22.

Fellaini got the cut done with his usual barber Mitchell's in Belgium as he posed happily wearing his Manchester United training top.

The Brussels barbers also has clients including other Belgium stars such as Adnan Januzaj, who unlike Fellaini, is in the Belgium squad for UEFA Nations League matches against Iceland and Switzerland.

Fellaini played the full 90 minutes against Manchester City in United's 3-1 defeat on Sunday.

But national team boss Roberto Martinez is wary the 30-year-old has only just returned from a groin injury and has permitted him to recover over the international break.

United will hope a fully recovered Fellaini can kickstart their season on return from an international break.
