Noussair Mazraoui is back in the Manchester United starting XI, with the Morocco international handed a starting role for Thursday's UEFA Champions League opener against Sabah FK.
The defender has been selected from the start as United begin their European campaign, replacing Portuguese full-back Diogo Dalot in the starting lineup.
Back in the Starting XI
Mazraoui's return to the starting XI comes after he began Manchester United's previous Premier League match against Everton on the bench.
The Moroccan defender was introduced late in that encounter, entering the pitch in the 90th minute.
Now, he has been given the opportunity to make his mark from the opening whistle as United turn their attention to European competition.
A European Opportunity
The Champions League provides another important stage for Mazraoui to showcase his versatility, defensive intelligence, and ability to contribute in both phases of the game.
His experience at the highest level of European football makes him a valuable option for Manchester United as they begin their continental campaign.
Under the lights of Old Trafford, Mazraoui now has another opportunity to remind the football world of his quality as Manchester United begin their Champions League journey.
