Noussair Mazraoui produced another impressive international performance as Morocco ran out 4-0 winners against Uganda. The Manchester United full-back started the match and played a vital role in both attack and defence.
Assist and Creative Influence
Mazraoui delivered a perfectly weighted cross from the right flank that Ismael Saibari headed into the far post shortly before half-time. The assist highlighted his crossing accuracy and game awareness. He created six chances in the game — the most of any player on the pitch — completed both of his dribbles, and played nine passes into the final third, underlining his progressive attacking intent.
Defensive Performance
The former Bayern Munich defender contributed strongly at the back as well: he made five recoveries, registered two tackles, and won six of nine duels, including both aerial battles. Those numbers show he combined attacking quality with defensive reliability.
International Form Could Impact United Role
Mazraoui also picked up an assist in Morocco’s recent 1-0 friendly win over Mozambique. After a stop-start 2025–26 season affected by injuries, these displays suggest he is hitting form at the right moment. Manager Ruben Amorim may be tempted to keep him in the starting XI for the upcoming match against Everton, ideally using him as a right-sided centre-back in Amorim’s 3-4-3 rather than on the wing.
