Man United had to fight hard to get a thrilling 3-2 win over Newcastle United in the final home game of the 2023/24 Premier League season.
The Red Devils scored some great goals. But the players had to work really hard defensively to keep the Magpies at bay. Sofyan Amrabat, to his credit, continued his impressive form with another admirable outing.
He was often in the right places defensively, covering for his centre-back’s errors and making a number of key challenges.
Amrabat made a goal-saving tackle in the early minutes and then also another heroic block to deny Newcastle two potential goals in either half. Here are his stats from the game.
100% final third pass accuracy
93% pass accuracy
40 passes completed
3 clearances
2 long passes completed
1 tackle won
1 key pass
A lot of Man United fans have been won over by his recent resurgence and are urging him to start in the FA Cup final. Here are some reactions from Twitter.
Jay Motty: “I’d start Amrabat against City. There I’ve said it now.”
AbsoluteBruno: “DO NOT let that Amrabat performance go without any praise btw, our midfield general finally proving his worth.”
Frank: “Unpopular opinion but if Amrabat had been given more game-time this season we’d all be on our knees for INEOS to trigger the £21.6M option to buy.”
UtdFaithfuls: “Amrabat x Mainoo x Bruno midfield in the FA Cup final, please. Amrabat doesn't just improve our ball retention in midfield, he's actually making Mainoo play better with more freedom.”
UtdWheezy: “Lowkey we should keep Amrabat. A lot of players of his profile are currently being priced out.”
Do you think Man United should sign Amrabat permanently in the summer?
