The Town Crier Read: Marouane Fellainis March mission Reds midfielder Marouane Fellaini discusses a vital run of games at Old Trafford - including derbies against Liverpool and Manchester City - and looking out for his team-mate and friend Adnan Januzaj on the field... Marouane, we have three big home games coming up: Liverpool, Olympiacos and – after West Ham away – Manchester City too... Every player wants to be involved in these big games. It will be good if I get the opportunity to play. I missed the first game against Liverpool because I hadnt completed my move to United, so now Im looking forward to this game. Its a big fixture for Manchester United. You know what its like to play against Liverpool for Everton – are you expecting it to be a passionate affair? Its always passionate in this fixture and Im really looked forward to being involved in my first United-Liverpool game, if Im selected, of course. Every game in England is passionate and this one is too. We go into the match on the back of a good result and display against West Brom – was it a happy dressing room after the game? Everyone was happy with the result at West Brom. We scored three goals, kept a clean sheet and the team played well. When you win everyone is always happy and we have to keep going like this and focus on the next game. It was good for our confidence. We have done well away from home but we need to win at Old Trafford. Its important for our supporters. Some of the build-up play was excellent at West Brom... Yes, we have a lot of quality in attack - Mata, Rooney, Adnan, Robin... they offer a threat going forward. They give a lot of solutions in attacking positions so thats great for the team that they have that understanding. We scored three goals and played well, so were happy with that. Youve built up a good relationship with Adnan Januzaj off the field and you look out for him on the pitch, too... Of course. I speak French with him and he helped me a lot as he knows the club. If I can help him because hes a young guy then I will. And, if I can, I will help him on the pitch as well. He is young so, of course, I will look after him. Looking beyond the Liverpool game, we face Olympiacos next week in the Champions League. Were 2-0 down in the tie but are you still confident we can come back? We have the players to win the game. We will see but we have a chance and we must try to take it. We need the fans to stay behind the team and the club and we will fight to win in the game against Olympiacos. Im sure it will be a good experience with the atmosphere at Old Trafford, but the most important thing is to win the game and hope it takes us through to the quarter-finals. Well do everything we can to get there.
