Marouane Fellaini has shocked the entire footballing world after he cut off his trademark afro.

No, seriously! The Manchester United midfielder has been the main talking point throughout the day, from the average football fan tweeting about it to Roma’s brilliant social media team giving their verdict on his hair.

Most footballers have also taken to social media in disbelief, which includes Manchester City captain Vincent Kompany. The 32-year-old centre-back took to Instagram to comment on his fellow Belgian international’s haircut.

“It’s Photoshopped!” he said. “It can’t be true.”

Both United teammate Eric Bailly and Napoli’s Dries Mertens, who plays with the former Everton star for Belgium, echoed a similar response that most people have shared today (posted below).
