Manchester United defender Noussair Mazraoui gave a fine account of himself at the 2026 FIFA World Cup. He was part of the Moroccan side that reached the quarter-finals of the tournament, where they were beaten by France.
Mazraoui featured in all six games at the summer's spectacle, starting all but one of them, and managed to impress in the left-back role. The 28 year old even filled in at centre-back against France in the quarter-finals, but failed to inspire his team to a win.
Nevertheless, the Moroccan left the tournament with his head held high and underlined why he remains highly regarded at Old Trafford. The player's versatility was already evident last season, when he operated at centre-back with aplomb in the 1-0 win over Chelsea.
His performance at the World Cup earned him further admirers across Europe. A previous report relayed by The Peoples Person suggests that former United head coach Ruben Amorim is keen for a reunion with the Moroccan in Serie A.
Mazraoui arrived at the Theatre of Dreams in the summer of 2024 from Bayern Munich and has registered 77 appearances for United to date. Of these, 49 came under Amorim, who was removed from his position in January this year.
