Mazraoui's starting spot uncertain as team regains strength
Manchester United has had a recent positive streak, remaining unbeaten since a loss to Tottenham last month. They have two wins and two draws in the Premier League and reached the quarter-finals of the Europa League. However, the team's season overall has been disappointing, placing 13th in the league and out of domestic cups. One standout player this season has been Noussair Mazraoui, a summer signing who cost £12.8 million, plus potential add-ons. He has been consistent, performing well across multiple positions, from right-back to center-back. His reliability has been crucial as United copes with injuries. Despite his strong performances, it may be difficult for him to secure a spot in manager Ruben Amorim's preferred starting XI. As players like Patrick Dorgu and Diogo Dalot return from injury, they may take priority in their respective positions. Mazraoui's versatility has helped the team during tough times, but it could also prevent him from playing as the squad gets healthier. The competition for starting roles is expected to intensify as United heads toward their next matches.
