Man Utd rookie Sofyan Amrabat was forced to withdraw from the Morocco team due to injury. That makes coach Ten Hag really worried.

Man Utd signed defensive midfielder Sofyan Amrabat from Fiorentina on the last day of the summer transfer market 2023. The Red Devils borrowed the Moroccan star for a year for a fee of £ 8.6 million. Besides, they have a permanent buyout option worth £17 million in the summer of 2024.

Sofyan Amrabat was injured before making his Man Utd debut.

This is a rookie expected by Sofyan Amrabat to play quite well in the 2022 World Cup . However, in the context of not being able to debut Man Utd, the midfielder born in 1996 reported bad news to the Manchester club.

Accordingly, Sofyan Amrabat was returned to the club by the Morocco team due to injury. Coach Walid Regragui called up Yahya Jeeran to replace Sofyan Amrabat in preparation for two matches against Liberia and Burkina Faso.

It is currently unclear how long Man Utd’s rookie will have to be out of action. However, there is a notable detail: Man Utd doctors discovered Sofyan Amrabat’s back injury during a medical examination. However, the Red Devils “closed their eyes” because they thought it was not a serious injury.

Man Utd was quite “unlucky” when it came to many injuries in the early part of the season. They have lost two midfielders, Kobbie Mainoo and Mason Mount, and three defenders, Raphael Varane, Luke Shaw and Tyrell Malacia, for the long term.

That has a significant impact on Man Utd’s performance. Since the beginning of the season, the Manchester club has won 2 and lost 2 in the Premier League. Even their two wins over Wolves and Nottingham Forest had a touch of luck.

At this time, Man Utd ranked 11th on the rankings with 6 points. They still have the habit of starting quite slowly in the Premier League like in recent seasons. That leaves the Red Devils too far behind the championship racing group.

After the national team gathering, Man Utd will return with a match against Brighton on September 16. This is considered a difficult challenge for coach Ten Hag and his team.
