In the Europa League, Manchester United beat PAOK by a score of 2–0 on Thursday night. It was their first win of the season.
Both goals were scored by the great Amad Diallo in the second half, which gave his team all three points.
In terms of ball control, United had 53% of the ball while PAOK had 47%. The Red Devils had 16 shots on goal, but only four of them hit the target.
When it came to PAOK, they had eight shots, and Andre Onana had to stop four of them.
Their 520 passes were completed 84% of the time, which was good for Ruud van Nistelrooy’s team. The Greek team made 82% of their passes, which is 50 fewer than the other team.
When United played PAOK, Noussair Mazraoui was one of their best players. After coming to United from Bayern Munich in the summer, Mazraoui has done almost nothing wrong and has become even better since then.
He played great on the left wing in last week’s 1-1 draw with Chelsea, and he didn’t let down when he was moved to the right wing today.
During his time on the field, the Moroccan made an impressive 93% of his passes go through the goal and won 83% of the ground battles he got into.
Two of his passes went into the final third, which shows how important he is when the team is pressing.
59 times, he touched the ball.
Mazraoui got the ball back five times. He tried to make four hits and succeeded all of them.
Not a single pass was made past the 26-year-old.
Besides that, he finished the one dribble he started and hit both of the long balls he tried to pass to his friends.

United’s next game is on Sunday, when they play Leicester City. After that, they have a break until the November international break.
