Sofyan Amrabat made his first start for Manchester United in their Carabao Cup third round clash against Crystal Palace.
Manchester United new boy Sofyan Amrabat showed exactly why Erik ten Hag brought him to Old Trafford in Tuesday night's Carabao Cup third round clash against Crystal Palace.
The 27-year-old Moroccan midfielder, who joined the ranks at Old Trafford from Fiorentina this summer on a season-long loan with an option to buy, produced a very solid display on his full debut. Ater making his Premier League debut off the bench against Burnley at the weekend, he started Tuesday's game at left-back, despite being more known for his qualities as a defensive midfielder.
But that wasn't a problem for Amrabat, who recorded a 96% pass accuracy in his 61 minute cameo after completing 83 out of 87 passes attempted.He also completed five out of six duels; a stat that will no doubt please United supporters after a far-from-convincing start to the Premier League campaign.One fan said:"Scott McTominay has completed 49 passes in 203 minutes for Manchester United this season. Sofyan Amrabat completed 65 passes in the first half vs Palace.
A fourth said:"Sofyan Amrabat, as far as first starts go, they don’t get much cooler and smoother than that. Retention, tenacity, energy and composure," and a fifth added:"Amrabat looks like he would quite literally run through a brick wall if ten Hag asked him to."Retention, tenacity, energy and composure.
