Just arrived at Manchester United, Noussair Mazraoui is already making his mark. After an impressive start, the Moroccan international is in the running for the Player of the Month award for August.
It only took him two matches to earn this nomination. Mazraoui is competing for the award alongside his teammates Amad Diallo and Alejandro Garnacho. The winner is expected to be announced on Saturday, ahead of the highly anticipated match against Liverpool on Sunday afternoon.
Mazraoui started in United’s first two Premier League matches this season and provided his first assist to Amad Diallo during the 2-1 loss to Brighton. Erik ten Hag praised the 26-year-old’s composure on the ball, highlighting it as one of his « key strengths. »
Manchester United announced last Tuesday that they had signed the Atlas Lion for four years, with an option for a fifth year, from Bayern Munich.
Mazraoui expressed his delight at joining Manchester United, stating that he is eager to wear the Red Devils jersey at Old Trafford. « I know I’m joining the club at an exciting time, as everyone I’ve spoken to shares the same ambition to win titles together, and I’m excited to contribute to that, » he said.
