Marouane Fellaini joined Manchester United to win trophies not friends and will not be changing the abrasive style that made such an impression during his time at Everton.
.
The fuzzy-haired Belgian midfielder, who joined United for 24 million pounds ($38.08 million) on the final day of the transfer window, gave his first news conference since joining on Friday and left no one in any doubt about what he will bring to the party.
.
"I came here to win trophies. For me, it's a dream to join the biggest club in the world," Fellaini, who is in line to make his debut against Crystal Palace on Saturday, said.
.
"I will prove myself on the pitch. Some people don't like my qualities, but I don't care. The manager, staff and players here know me. The manager gave me confidence (when he signed him at Everton). I didn't know anyone, but he helped me."
.
"I need to work hard for my place - there are a lot of good players. I need to show my ability, I'll keep focused. I want to help the team and give everything."
.
Fellaini was United's only high-profile addition to the United squad that won the title last season in former manager Alex Ferguson's swansong.
.
A strong, powerful player who is not afraid to mix it, he is not from the same mould as the likes of Paul Scholes, but manager David Moyes believes Fellaini will have a big impact.
.
"Fellaini's presence is very noticeable for many reasons, including his size. But you can't overlook his technical ability," Moyes, who signed him from Standard Liege, said.
.
"He is effective in different areas of the field. If he keeps improving as he has done, we could have a really top player on our hands. Every time I watch Belgium, Felli is the best player."
