Manchester United had a chance to restore their reputation when they hosted FC Twente in the Europa League at home. The first half started well for Erik ten Hag’s men, with a superb strike from Christian Eriksen opening the scoring by sending the ball into the top corner. However, the Red Devils lost their spark in the second half. Eriksen, who had been impeccable until then, was robbed of the ball by Lammers, who made no mistake to beat André Onana in a one-on-one, bringing the score level at 1-1.
Among the players in the spotlight, Moroccan international Noussair Mazraoui once again demonstrated his solidity. Since his arrival at Manchester United, the right-back has established himself as an essential cog in Erik ten Hag’s system. Starting for the first time in the Europa League under his new colours, Mazraoui delivered a performance full of control.
Here is his numerical assessment for this meeting:
– 90 minutes played
– 81 balls touched
– 84% of successful passes
– 6 duels won
– 4 tackles
– 2 interceptions
– 1 key pass
– 1 successful dribble
The Moroccan defender is increasingly establishing himself as a sure value for the Manchester team, combining defensive solidity and offensive contribution. Despite the disappointing result, his performances suggest great prospects for the future.
