Sofyan Amrabat was seldom given chances, but when he did, he was unable to perform up to par.
Man Utd performed badly against Man City late on March 3 in the Premier League’s round 27. Marcus Rashford gave them a startling lead, but The Citizens equalized and scored three goals in a row following the interval.
The 82nd-minute substitution of Sofyan Amrabat for Kobbie Mainoo was one of coach Erik ten Hag’s poor choices.
The Moroccan midfielder had a difficult time handling the ball at minute 90+1.
A Fiorentina player was badly robbed of the ball right in their own half.
Erling Haaland, a striker from Norway, easily kicked Andre Onana’s net with the score at 2-1, ruining Manchester United’s chance of earning a draw.
After committing an error, Amrabat’s dismaying expression led to the Red Devils giving up the third goal.
When Amrabat was brought in on loan, it was anticipated that he would perform better than Marcel Sabitzer.
Sabitzer was competent last season, but he did not perform to his full potential at Old Trafford. At the end of the season, Man Utd chose not to purchase him outright as a result.
In the summer of 2023, coach Erik ten Hag revived the classic game Amrabat after enacting numerous improvements.
Amrabat was too devoted to Manchester United, even though the agreement appeared to collapse at the last second. The fact that he stays devoted and waits for Man Utd patiently may perhaps be deemed insane.
Amrabat made an impression before he even arrived at Old Trafford. The 27-year-old midfielder is anticipated to improve the caliber of Man Utd’s midfield due to his intense playing style and strong ball-clinging and ball-recovery abilities.
He performed exceptionally well at the 2022 World Cup, making Morocco the first African team to go to the semifinals.
But Amrabat rapidly vanished because of the Premier League’s excessively competitive atmosphere. Amrabat has exceptional ball distribution skills, although he frequently loses the ball, according to British media.
It appears that Amrabat is no longer a household name at Old Trafford. More was anticipated from a major participant in the 2022 World Cup.
Amrabat was unable to advance even after Casemiro, Christian Eriksen, and Mason Mount sustained injuries. Ambarat’s career with Manchester United also appeared to be in jeopardy after a subpar performance against Man City as a substitute.
