A compilation of Sofyan Amrabat's full debut for Manchester United against Crystal Palace has gone viral.

Amrabat, who joined Man United from Fiorentina on a season-long with an option to buy this summer, made his first appearance for his new side against Burnley in a cameo last weekend.

But he was handed his first start for the Red Devils against Palace in the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.

And he delivered a stellar showing at Old Trafford as he was trending on social media following his performance, producing impressive statistics.

Amrabat was employed at left-back but drifted into the middle of the park, where he showed off his range of passing and vision.

He also put in a shift defensively, closing Palace midfielders down and retrieved the ball in a combative outing.

The double pivot of Amrabat and Casemiro looks promising ahead of Erik ten Hag potentially using them in a Premier League fixture.


The 27-year-old, who was replaced in the 61st minute as he nears full fitness, spoke to Sky Sports after the result and joked he would play as a goalkeeper for Ten Hag.

“I told the manager I will play where [he] needs me and where the team needs me, even if it is a goalkeeper!" He said.

“I play where I can help the team, today it was left-back. I had a bit of a free role, I think you saw I played a bit in midfield, so it was nice, it was good.”

The Moroccan international added: “I think it was a perfect night.

“We played very well and, most importantly, we won 3-0. I played one hour, so I think it was perfect.

“Since I was a child I worked for this [moment]. I worked very hard for my whole career and life [for this], so it was amazing to play here.

“Today is a Tuesday and the stadium was full, it is fantastic.”

Amrabat could make his first start in the Premier League when Man United resume their campaign on Saturday against Palace.
