Sofyan Amrabat will almost certainly start for Man United in their games against Sheffield United and FC Copenhagen.
Although it was not his fault, the on-loan midfielder initially had to go through a nightmare when operating as an emergency replacement for injured trio Luke Shaw, Tyrell Malacia and Sergio Reguilon at left-back. But the path is now clear for the Moroccan to stake a proper claim in his preferred No.6 position.
Casemiro has picked up a minor knock while on international duty with Brazil and, as such, will miss the Sheffield United game as a precaution. With the ex-Real Madrid powerhouse sitting out their Champions League follow-up game vs FC Copenhagen through suspension, it gives an ideal platform for Amrabat to show what he can do in the Brazilian's role.
"I told the manager, I will play where you need me, where the team needs me, even as goalkeeper," said Amrabat following his debut for the club as an auxiliary left-back. "I will play anywhere where I can help the team." "One of my wishes to get another six," said Ten Hag upon signing Amrabat, yet another player known to the United manager from their days at FC Utrecht together. "You need depth in there, in that position we only had Casemiro who can play really well there.
