This all-round star helped MU "give birth" to Bodo/Glimt

Manchester United beat Bodo/Glimt 3-2 in a thrilling game at Old Trafford. Despite the happy result, the team still had many problems in defense. However, the highlight of the instability was the impressive performance of Noussair Mazraoui - the player considered the biggest bright spot in the Red Devils' squad in this match.

Mazraoui, who plays as a right centre-back, continued to prove his worth after his debut in the draw against Ipswich Town last weekend. During the 90 minutes against Bodo/Glimt, he showed all-round excellence, completing 114 of his 119 passes, achieving an accuracy rate of 96%. This is an impressive figure, helping Manchester United maintain the attacking tempo as well as control the game. Not only contributing to the ball progression, Mazraoui also won 6 out of 7 duels, proving his strength and determination in defense.

On the defensive front, Mazraoui not only fulfilled his duties but also exceeded expectations. He recovered the ball 8 times and cleared the ball 5 times, helping to keep the goal safe from dangerous counter-attacks from the Norwegian team. The biggest highlight of the Moroccan player's performance was the delicate assist that helped Rasmus Højlund score the equalizer before the end of the first half. This situation not only demonstrated his sharp tactical vision but also proved Mazraoui's ability to stay calm and handle the ball at the top level.

Rated as one of the best players in the match, Mazraoui received a score of 7.9/10 from Sofascore, confirming his important role in the Manchester United squad. From a contract with a transfer fee of only 12.8 million pounds, Mazraoui has become a valuable addition, fulfilling many different roles on the pitch. Although initially expected to compete at right-back, he quickly adapted and shone at both left-back and right-center-back in coach Ruben Amorim's three-back system.

Not only does Mazraoui stand out for his defensive style of play, he also impresses with his ability to support the attack and coordinate the ball. Mason Mount, who played alongside Mazraoui, did not hesitate to praise him, saying: "A player of such class." His confidence on the ball, ability to read situations and all-round playing style make Mazraoui a standout name in the Manchester United squad, especially when the team is having many difficulties with stability.

Before joining Manchester United, Mazraoui had already established himself at Ajax and Bayern Munich with his clever movement from the wing into the middle. However, under Ruben Amorim, he has developed more strongly in the central defensive role, a testament to the Portuguese coach’s ability to get the best out of a player, who has only worked with Mazraoui for a short time but has already helped him shine.

Despite the challenges of the season, Mazraoui’s performances have shown that he is one of the key players Manchester United can rely on for the future. At just £12.8 million, Mazraoui is one of the most valuable acquisitions the club has made in recent years. Not only is he a complete player, but he promises to continue to shine under Ruben Amorim, becoming a solid pillar at Old Trafford in the coming seasons.
