Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has opted for a new hairdo for the start of the season, ridding himself of his trademark afro.

The Belgium international returned from Brazil last week following their 1-0 defeat to Argentina in the quarter-finals of the World Cup.

Widespread reports have claimed that new United manager Louis van Gaal is willing to sell Fellaini just one year after he arrived at Old Trafford from Everton under former manager David Moyes.

While the midfielder's long-term future remains unclear, he has opted to start afresh with regards to his new hairdo, which he showed off on Twitter.
