Noussair Mazraoui has struggled for playing time at Manchester United, primarily being overshadowed by Diogo Dalot. Despite this, his performances for Morocco have shown his potential as a left-back. Mazraoui regularly plays this position for Morocco, demonstrating strong ball retention and progression skills. His recent performance against Ecuador highlighted his calmness and composure. With left-back being a weaker position for United, exploring Mazraoui as an alternative to Luke Shaw could benefit the team.
"Mazraoui regularly starts at left-back for Morocco, where his ball retention and progression skills as an inverted full-back come to the fore. His performance in a recent 1-1 draw against Ecuador promised a bright future."
"Starting at left-back, Mazraoui played the 82 minutes, going about his business with trademark calmness and composure. His forays at left-back for Morocco have always been impressive, but this time it's particularly productive."
"Left-back might not be Mazraoui's natural position, but considering Luke Shaw is first-choice there, Carrick must explore alternatives. Mazraoui is a clear upgrade on Luke Shaw."
