WHAT HAPPENED?
Mazraoui was among United's best performers as Amorim recorded his first win since taking charge. The Moroccan, playing at right centre-back, set up Rasmus Hojlund's first goal and completed 96% of his passes as his impressive start to life at Old Trafford continued.

THE BIGGER PICTURE
It wasn't a perfect display from Amorim's side, who had to recover from 2-1 down to record all three points, but a step in the right direction following last weekend's draw with Ipswich Town. And in Mazraoui, the Portuguese boss believes he has a player who represents United's future.

WHAT AMORIM SAID
"He’s an incredible player, he’s our future," Amorim said of Mazraoui. "He played in different positions, he looks always fresh but we have to be careful. There’s a lot of games but he’s here to stay. This kind of player is what we need."
