Last night at Old Trafford, Manchester United defeated Fulham 1-0 to kick off the new Premier League season.

Right-back Noussair Mazraoui made his Red Devils debut. His 92 percent passing accuracy demonstrated his brilliance.

The Moroccan sensation won 75% of his aerial contests (3/4), and all of his ground duels (3/3).

In addition, he recovered five balls, made three interceptions, and won 100% of his two tackles.

The former Bayern Munich player, who only joined the team earlier this week, had a fantastic debut performance.

The 26-year-old spent four seasons at Ajax playing for manager Erik ten Hag.

Mazraoui’s ability to adjust rapidly was not shocking. The £26 million-rated player’s inverted sprints into midfield attracted attention.

He was among Kobbie Mainoo’s most memorable performances.

Against the Cottagers, the Red Devils were far from their best. With the opportunities they created in both halves, they ought to have scored more goals.

In the first half, Bruno Fernandes squandered two excellent opportunities. Alejandro Garnacho wasted a simple opportunity during stoppage time.

Against Marco Silva’s team, who managed just a few shots on goal, it did not prove costly.

The outcome might have been different if the opposition had been stronger. In his press conference following the game, Ten Hag touched on the same issue.

United’s next away match is on the road on Saturday against Brighton & Hove Albion. The game will begin early from Amex Stadium.

After winning the game against Fulham in the dying moments, Joshua Zirkzee ought to be given a starting position up front.

Zirkzee and Matthijs de Ligt might make their official debut together. Harry Maguire was replaced by the 25-year-old yesterday.

At Brighton, the central defender is a strong favorite to start alongside Lisandro Martinez.
