. Marveaux successful individual season of 38 total appearances and 12 goals was overshadowed by the team's collective display as Rennes finished mid-table and failed to qualify for Europe after appearing in the UEFA Cup in back-to-back seasons.
Due to having one year left on his contract, Marveaux was the subject of transfer speculation in the 2010 summer transfer window with English
clubs Chelsea
and Manchester United

under the management of Kenny Dalglish
. Marveaux rubbished claims he failed a medical at Anfield
, confirming he could not agree terms.

It was confirmed on 18 November 2011 that he would require surgery under the guidance of world renowned Dr Marc Phillipon in Colorado
