Lost 60% of the challenges, dribbled past four times, lost possession 12 times: Noussair Mazraoui’s indecisiveness at the back cost Manchester United against Nottingham Forest!

Nottingham Forest defeated Manchester United 0-1 at the City Ground on Tuesday, marking the team’s return to Premier League competition.

Anthony Elanga, a previous Carrington alumnus, scored the game-winning goal as the home team defeated the Red Devils for the first time.

Harry Maguire’s attempt was scrambled off the line, while Diogo Dalot struck the post as the visitors produced numerous chances and had three times as many attempts as Forest, but it was not to be that night.

Ruben Amorim’s choice to change things up by ignoring in-form stars made little sense, and the lack of innovation up top was the cause.

Unable to decide MazraouiThe 20-time English league champions lost the game as a result of the head coach’s odd choice to start Noussair Mazraoui as the left-sided center-back rather than Leny Yoro, even though he will probably highlight his team’s offensive shortcomings.

The Moroccan continued to back off, giving Elanga a clear run at goal and being the last man standing for several of Forest’s counterattacks.

Prior to his injury, the Frenchman was a revelation on the left, but he was frequently indecisive and lacked Yoro’s speed. Actually, Yoro should have done it himself with a spectacular last-ditch tackle to halt the quick Swede.

The former Bayern Munich player appeared to be a liability after a stellar few weeks, letting Forest attackers dribble past him four times.

The goal resulted from his error.Only seven out of fifteen ground duels and one out of five aerial clashes were won by the 27-year-old, who only won 40% of his duels. Additionally, he lost ownership a staggering twelve times.

The former Ajax star only made 50% of his long-ball efforts and committed two fouls. He finished two interceptions and made three clearances.

The Morocco international had one crucial pass, finished one out of three dribbles, and finished the game with an 89 percent passing accuracy (all numbers by sofascore).

In the upcoming games, hopefully, Amorim won’t make any unnecessary changes to allow Mazraoui to play as the right-sided center-back, a position in which he is much more at ease.
