Midfielder Sofyan Amrabat had a more quality performance against Chelsea.

Man Utd fans were worried when coach Erik ten Hag did not use Kobbie Mainoo, instead Sofyan Amrabat paired with Scott McTominay in the midfield.

This is a risky but extremely accurate decision by the Dutch military leader. Accordingly, the Fiorentina player had the best performance ever in a Man Utd shirt. He almost strangled Chelsea’s midfield.

During the minutes on the field, Amrabat had 61 touches of the ball, 92% passing accuracy (45/49 successful passes), 11 ball recoveries, won 5/7 duels, 3/3 Accurate tackles, 2/2 successful dribbles and 1 pass to create a chance.

Amrabat’s 11 ball recoveries were the most in the match. Along with McTominay, Amrabat is truly the hero of Man Utd in this match. The Moroccan midfielder is the reason why Chelsea’s duo with a transfer value of more than £200 million, Enzo Fernandez and Moises Caicedo, had an underperforming day.

There was criticism when Amrabat played unsatisfactorily. However, this could be the turning point for this midfielder to become a key player for Man Utd. Thanks to Amrabat managing so well at the back, McTominay freely entered the penalty area and scored a double.

Coach Erik ten Hag also breathed a sigh of relief when the person he put his trust in had an excellent performance.
