Marouane Fellaini joins brother for a snap

Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini

Marouane Fellaini was relaxing with his brother on Monday afternoon as the Manchester United midfielder counts down the games before his Red Devils comeback.

The Belgium international missed their 1-0 win against Tottenham Hotspur at Old Trafford on Saturday as he continues to serve his three-game ban.

Fellaini picked up the suspension after he saw a straight red for a horror tackle on Hull City defender Paul McShane on the final day of the season.

And the United star was all smiles as he posed with his younger brother for a snap which the midfielder posted on his Twitter account.

Family time with my bro😍😍😍

Fellaini scored six goals in 25 Premier League appearances under Dutch coach Louis van Gaal last season.

The Belgium international has become an important part of the United team and racked up just under 2,000 minutes of first-team action in the Premier League last term.

Fellaini was initially an unpopular signing with United fans after David Moyes snapped up the midfielder in a £27.5m deal from Everton in 2013.
