Along with the three players mentioned above, rookie Sofyan Amrabat performed admirably. Everyone was taken aback when Ten Hag substituted the Moroccan star for Sergio Reguilon at left back.
Victor Lindelof’s entry onto the pitch during the second half signaled the change. Amrabat went back to playing in the center of midfield. Amrabat put on a completely compelling performance while working against his natural abilities.
According to statistics, Amrabat successfully performed 100% of tackle situations and 100% duels won throughout his 60 minutes on the field. The 27-year-old player accurately completed 78 out of 81 passes, a very impressive success rate: 96%.
Speaking after the match, the Fiorentina midfielder said: “This is my dream since I was a child, Man United. It’s great to play here, the stadium is full of people.
“I play in every position I can to help the team, even as a goalkeeper! I go out to fight for this badge on my chest.
“Today it’s left back but I play freely. Everything is great. I always like to have the ball. Of course I’m not a natural left back but I try to give the team more options. Today everything was fine.
“Of course I am a midfielder and I prefer to play as a midfielder. But I will play wherever the team needs me.”
Amrabat’s presence brings a fresh breeze to Man United’s playing style. The Old Trafford team will have a rematch with Palace at home this weekend in the Premier League.
