When the Moroccan star went back to playing in his strong position, he shone right away.

To be fair, since coming to Old Trafford, Sofyan Amrabat hasn’t made much of an impression.

 

Actually, Amrabat has worn the Manchester United uniform as a left-back ever since Sergio Reguilon’s injury.

The Moroccan player would naturally stray while playing against his strengths because he was virtually exclusively a midfielder for Fiorentina in the past.

Amrabat actually behaves more like a center-back than a true full-back, leaving the Man Utd entrance corridor empty when he drifts into the middle.

Amrabat instantly turned in a strong performance, playing to his abilities and making a significant contribution to the Red Devils’ comeback.

Amrabat reached an accuracy rate of up to 97% in the most recent game, with 64/66 passes made to the right address, according to data from Statman Dave. It goes without saying that Amrabat was crucial to Man Utd’s development of their playing philosophy versus Brentford.

The former Fiorentina player made a lasting impression by winning two duels and making five correct passes, three crucial passes, and one rescue scenario.

Amrabat is the midfielder in Man Utd’s midfield with the highest rating (7.5) according to Sofascore’s estimate.

Maybe it’s time for Ten Hag to make Amrabat a starting midfielder so that we can expect great things from this player.
