Ruben Amorim hails 'incredible' Manchester United star as the 'future' after beating Bodo/Glimt | OneFootball

The Moroccan was given high praise from his new manager

Ruben Amorim called Noussair Mazraoui “the future” of Manchester United, after the Moroccan played a starring role in the new manager’s first win at the helm.

Mazraoui registered an assist on the night, as well as completing 95 per cent of his passes as he impressed at right wing-back.

The 27-year-old has played at left-back, right-back, in midfield and now right centre-back for United since joining from Bayern Munich on a four-year deal in August.

Speaking after the win over Bodo/Glimt, Amorim said of Mazraoui: “He’s an incredible player, he’s our future.

Alejandro Garnacho put United 1-0 up in the first minute at Old Trafford, but Bodo/Glimt turned the match on its head and led 2-1 at the break.
