The Moroccan star immediately shined when he returned to play in his strong position.
To be fair, Sofyan Amrabat has not left a very strong impression since moving to Old Trafford.
In fact, since the time Sergio Reguilon was injured, Amrabat has always played as a left-back under the Manchester United shirt.
Previously, the Moroccan star almost only played as a midfielder while playing for Fiorentina, so of course he would not avoid deviations when playing against his strengths.
In fact, Amrabat does not act like a true full-back, he tends to drift into the middle and leaves Man Utd’s door corridor empty.
Playing to his strengths, Amrabat immediately delivered a commendable performance and contributed greatly to the Red Devils’ comeback.
Data from Statman Dave shows that Amrabat had 64/66 passes to the correct address in the last match, reaching an accuracy rate of up to 97%. Obviously, Amrabat played a very important role in the process of Man Utd building their playing style against Brentford.
Notably, the former Fiorentina star left a strong mark with 5/5 accurate passes, 3 key passes and 1 rescue situation, along with 2 duels won.
According to evaluation from Sofascore, Amrabat is the highest rated player in Man Utd’s midfield (7.5).
Perhaps, it’s time for Ten Hag to position Amrabat as a permanent fixture in the midfield to ensure high-quality performances from this star.
