The 26-year-old scored 32 goals from midfield for the Toffees, but he is yet to find the net at United, while some of his passing displays have been forgettable.
Spanish newspaper AS was so unimpressed by Fellaini's performance in Tuesday's 1-1 draw against Bayern Munich that it did not deem him worthy of a mark out of ten in their match report.
But Moyes, who has also found it hard since moving to Old Trafford, retains his faith in the former Standard Liege star.
"It's not an easy move coming to Manchester United, as I can tell you," the United manager said.
"For Marouane, I think it's proved equally as difficult, but I have to say I think he has done a lot of good things and he has improved.
"I actually thought Marouane got better as the game went on [against Bayern]. We needed him and I thought he played very well.
"He did well in the Villa game too. I think he is getting much closer to scoring.
"We bought Marouane Fellaini not to play every single game in the Premier League. We have bought him for several games. He did a great job at West Ham, against Aston Villa and against Bayern."
