Man Utd release statement confirming injury setback to one Red after ‘complete performance’ on international duty

Manchester United has issued a statement confirming a setback for one of their players, Noussair Mazraoui, after a 'complete performance' during international duty. The Moroccan full-back was substituted during Morocco's African Cup of Nations qualifier against Lesotho due to a collision. Noussair Mazraoui's performance was highly praised, highlighting his strong duels, precise distribution, and valuable anticipation.

His ability to drift inside and create numerical superiority in midfield was also noted. However, the 28-year-old will now face a worrying recovery period as United await further updates from Morocco. With only two senior options available to cover left-back if Luke Shaw is unavailable, Michael Carrick will be closely monitoring Mazraoui's condition ahead of a demanding season.

Additionally, defender-turned-winger Patrick Dorgu has also expressed serious injury concerns after being substituted in Denmark's match, and will now join Mazraoui in camp to help determine the severity of his injury. The setback comes as Marcus Rashford and Kobbie Mainoo pulled out of the England squad, while Benjamin Sesko was deemed too risky to represent Slovenia.
