Few
days after Belgium were surprisingly dumped out of Euro 2016 by Wales,
Manchester United midfielder, Marouane Fellaini jetted off to the
Mediterranean to get some rest ahead of the new season. Marouane Fellaini puffs on a cigar in IbizaExclusive photos obtained by TheSun.co.uk,
showed the 28-year-old puffing on a huge cigar, while on holiday with
his twin brother, Mansour and friends, in Ibiza beach of the Balearic
island, around the Mediterranean Sea.
Fellaini is unlikely to form
a central part of new manager, Jose Mourinho’s plan next season but
being caught relaxing on a beach, enjoying a few puffs is likely to see
him incur the wrath of the ‘special one’. Marouane Fellaini hits the headlines on Wednesday after he was snapped smoking a cigar while on holiday with his twin brother.The
Belgium midfielder was the topic of discussion on Wednesday after he
was snapped smoking a cigar while on holiday with his twin brother.
An onlooker said: “He didn’t look like he had a care in the world.”
Mourinho
was questioned about the impact smoking could have on elite athletes
back in 2014 when Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere was caught smoking and
drinking with England team-mate Joe Hart while on holiday in Las Vegas. The
Belgian is taking some time out before returning to Manchester United
for pre-season following his country’s exit from Euro 2016.While
the new Manchester United manager admitted Wilshere was not exactly
painting himself as an ideal role model, he did concede that the
occasional cigarette would be unlikely to do his career any long-term
harm.
‘What football players do, millions and millions are watching, lots of kids are watching,’ he said two years ago.
‘I’m
not a specialist, obviously, but I don’t think if a football player
smokes one cigar or cigarette with friends in the summer when he is not
training – I don’t think it affects his performance.
‘What gets affected is that a kid at home says if a top football player can smoke then I can smoke and it is not a problem.
‘It is more a social consequence than a physical consequence.
‘Would
I be angry if it was my player? Being angry is not a solution but I
would just explain exactly that, that everything they do or wear is part
of the kids’ life.
‘If they smoke, maybe the kids think they do it a lot of times and they will probably do the same.’
The
hirsute midfielder will surely be hoping Mourinho hasn’t changed his
opinion in the intervening years, in the face of his polarised nature
among supporters of the club. Manchester United flop Marouane Fellaini puffs on a giant cigarThe
6ft 4in midfielder, who was bought for £27.5million during the
disastrous reign of David Moyes, Fellaini has struggled to impress at
Old Trafford.
He started just 12 Premier League games last season and has only 11 goals in all competitions in his three seasons.
