Shaved off: Marouane Fellaini shaves off famous Afro hairstyle

Marouane Fellaini has sensationally shaved off his famous Afro hairdo after Belgium's rousing run to the World Cup quarter finals.

The Manchester United midfielder's famous afro style is no more, with a new, neater look having replaced it ahead of the new season according to this picture from  Studio Brussels .

He promised to chop off his bouncy bouffant if the Red Devils went all the way to World Cup glory - but after their impressive run, he went ahead and did it anyway.

In these situations, fans are usually worried about a player 'losing their powers' when they trim their distinguished locks, but in Fellaini's case, United fans probably won't have too much to fret about…
