Noussair Mazraoui has been the standout summer signing for the Red Devils.

Under manager Ruben Amorim, he has excelled in his role as a right-sided centre-back. Amorim recently described him as a ‘very good’ and ‘modern’ player.

The £26 million-rated star started in the back three yesterday but endured a tough outing.

He was moved to the wing-back role after the break when Amorim introduced Leny Yoro for Tyrell Malacia.

It was a rare off day for the Moroccan international. He lost half of his duels (4/8) and registered only 82 percent passing accuracy.

He delivered only one cross but failed to find a teammate.

Although Mazraoui has often been composed on the ball, he was uncharacteristically sloppy and lost possession nine times.

Things took a turn for the worse when he gave away a penalty in the 60th minute.

Mazraoui brought Justin Kluivert down inside the box with a reckless sliding challenge from behind.

Referee Craig Pawson had no doubts and pointed to the spot. Kluivert doubled Bournemouth’s lead.

Amorim will hope Mazraoui improves in the Boxing Day clash with Wolverhampton Wanderers.
