Doubts Over Noussair Mazraoui’s Availability for Fulham Clash

Moroccan international defender Noussair Mazraoui might miss Manchester United’s game against Fulham tomorrow, Sunday, in the 23rd round of the 2024-2025 Premier League season.

Coach Ruben Amorim left Noussair out of the squad for the match against Rangers on Thursday in the seventh round of the Europa League, following a bruise he sustained during the Brighton match in the Premier League last week.

As the Red Devils prepare to face Fulham at Craven Cottage in London, media outlets have speculated on the starting lineup based on insider information.

Mazraoui’s Role in the Fulham Match

According to the British newspaper Express, Noussair is expected to be available for the Fulham match on Sunday. Amorim will likely field him in the centre-back position within a (3-4-3) formation.

Mazraoui, who has earned 31 caps for Morocco, has proven to be a key player in the Manchester United lineup under both former manager Erik ten Hag and current coach Ruben Amorim.

The Moroccan defender joined United at the start of the season from Bayern Munich in a €15 million deal. He has quickly adapted to life in the Premier League, becoming a standout performer for the club.

Mazraoui is determined to help the team bounce back from a difficult spell. The Red Devils have lost four of their last six league games, slipping to 13th in the standings.

Mazraoui’s Contributions to Manchester United

This season, Noussair has made 32 appearances for Manchester United across all competitions. The table below details his performance in each competition.
