Noussair Mazraoui

Noussair Mazraoui has been a standout performer in Manchester United's backline this season, showcasing a robust style of play marked by his defensive acumen and tactical intelligence. As a right-back, he's become an invaluable asset, particularly noted in his exceptional ability to recover possession, which underlines his knack for reading the game and anticipating opposition moves. His success in one-on-one duels is impressive, consistently neutralising threats down the flank, while his work in the penalty area reflects a calmness under pressure that's often beyond what you'd expect. Although his attacking contributions might not be headline-grabbing, Mazraoui's proficiency in progressive carrying and passing keeps United ticking over, linking defence to attack with composure. His retention of the ball and ability to drive forward with purpose further enhances his contribution to the team. However, there might be room for improvement in his goal threat and chance creation, but as a dependable right-back, his defensive stats are the key highlights of this season’s scout report.
