"?Manchester United midfielder Marouane Fellaini has said that the sacking of David Moyes in 2014 left him upset.
The Belgian signed on deadline day of the 2013 transfer window - Moyes' first in charge - after following the manager from Everton to United for £27.5m, and told "?La Derniere Heureas that the Scot's sacking just one-year into a six-year contract negatively affected him.
"When he was sacked from United, I cried. I'm not ashamed to say it because he did everything for me.
"He was very strict with me, but it was for my own good. Every time he punished me, he would take me to the training pitch and do a session just for me. He was like a second father to me."
Fellaini was often maligned during his first season at United, with his poor, inconsistent form coupling with his expensive price-tag to exemplify the short-lived Moyes reign.
However, in the past two seasons he has impressed in big games for the club, and scored in the FA Cup semi-final at Wembley against former club Everton.
Although, with Louis van Gaal having been replaced by Jose Mourinho, it remains to be seen if the Belgian will feature in his plans, with the Portuguese renowned for having teams that as well as being physical, are blessed with technical brilliance and pace on the counter-attack.
The 28-year-old is currently at the Euro 2016 tournament in France with his country, and the Red Devils are one of the dark horses to win their first major trophy.
