The Norwegian made a joke at Fellaini’s expense.
Everton picked up a draw against Manchester United in the Premier League yesterday, but they certainly got a helping hand from one of their former players.
Marouane Fellaini came on with the game at 1-0 to Manchester United, after Zlatan Ibrahimovic scored a well taken goal in the first-half of the game.

He then made a stupid challenge in the area on Everton midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye, gifting his former team-mate Leighton Baines a chance to score from the spot and level the game.
Fellaini of course spent five years at Goodison Park before following David Moyes to Old Trafford in 2013.

Former Everton goalie Thomas Myhre, who spent four years at the club, sent out this tweet:
Meanwhile, former Everton striker Gary Lineker had this to say:
