As the players realised the individual was filming them, Fellaini attempted to stop him by waving his hand at the phone.

Members of United's security detail then asked him to move down the platform, to which he refused.

The man yelled "don't touch me" after a member of security attempted to usher him away from the players, including Fellaini, Jesse Lingard and Victor Lindelof.

He then ranted at the United staff, saying: "I'm standing on a platform and I'm watching Man United get a train back to Manchester, that's all.

The Belgian replied: "Thank you, thank you."

United regularly get trains to and from London for games in the capital, rather than flying.

Boss Jose Mourinho hailed Fellaini's contribution in midfield after United's 2-1 victory over the previously unbeaten Hornets.

He said: "Marouane is giving us more than that, he is giving that but also quality and simplicity.

"He is playing simple and well. I'm really happy."
