Noussair Mazraoui baffles Manchester United fans due to his brilliance with Morocco

The British newspaper "The Sun" revealed that Nassir Mazraoui, the Manchester United player, confused the team's fans, because of his brilliance with his country, Morocco. While Mazraoui is struggling with Manchester United this season, he was unable to guarantee his place in the team squad.

Nassir Mazraoui contributed to Morocco's victory over Gabon with two unanswered goals (Friday, September 25) in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers. Mazraoui was able to score goals in the match with a powerful shot from outside the penalty area. While Sofiane Rahimi scored the second goal for the “Atlas Lions”.

Confusing situation!

In 2024, Noussair Mazraoui (28 years old) moved to Manchester United from the German team Bayern Munich in a deal that cost the “Red Devils” coffers about 15 million pounds sterling. Mazraoui was one of the pillars of Manchester United players during the era of former Portuguese coach Ruben Amorim.

However, things have changed dramatically since Michael Carrick took over as coach of the team, as Carrick prefers to rely on Diogo Dalot in the right-back position, while Mazzaroui sits on the bench and gets very few playing minutes.

United fans expressed their astonishment on social media, wondering why Mazraoui’s level was so different with the Moroccan national team compared to his performance with the English club.

One fan wrote on the “X” application (formerly Twitter): “Mazraoui looks like a world-class player everywhere, but as soon as he wears a United shirt, his talent disappears.”

Another added: “Mazraoui turns into a monster when he plays for his country’s national team, but when he returns to Manchester United, he plays badly.”

Another wrote: “The system is the problem, not the players.” While another fan added sarcastically: “At this stage, you must explain to us: Do you have a contract with Morocco or Manchester United?”

A Moroccan talent who made her name in Europe

Nassir Mazraoui saw the light in the Netherlands to parents from Morocco. Mazraoui preferred to carry the Moroccan shirt over the Netherlands. Mazraoui's star flourished greatly with the Ajax Amsterdam team, especially under the leadership of coach Ten Hag.

Mazraoui moved to Bayern Munich, and performed at more than distinguished levels with the Bavarian team, especially in the Champions League competition. Then the men landed in Manchester United.

Mazraoui can play in different places on the green rectangle due to his flexibility and intelligence. Mazraoui’s market value currently stands at 18 million euros, and he has a contract with Manchester United until the summer of 2028, according to what was reported by the “Transfer Market” website.
