Jose Mourinho has thanked Marouane Fellaini for his performance in Manchester United's 1-0 loss to Chelsea on Sunday.
The Belgian had not featured for United since the end of September, after picking up a knock while on international duty with Belgium, and had only returned to training on Saturday.
He was introduced off the bench at Stamford Bridge and came close to finding an equaliser, but his shot was brilliantly saved by Thibaut Courtois.
"I get the chance to not just praise but thank Fellaini for an unbelievable effort he made because he trained with the team only yesterday [Saturday] for the first time and put himself available to try to help the team today.
"It's important for me to give him a big word."
