Very good performance. I like what I saw of him. Obvious starter at the weekend
Sofyan Amrabat | 2023/24 Performances
- Thread starter MyOnlySolskjaer
- Start date
Absolute baller. Was my number #1 priority signing this summer. The concerns over his fbref defensive data was vastly overblown, anyone who's seen him play knows he is a monster defensively.
Are you serious? Are they on some other club’s payroll? We should really fire all scouting department.
This is one area of concern for him. He's poor in the air despite his height.
We had a good run in the 90s.
However, in terms of all around midfield performances, I think back to 2005. Keane, supposedly over the hill, up against media darling 'Stevie G'. Keane ran the show. If Amrabat can get anywhere near that level...
Last night was a good start. We have to factor in Palace clearly prioritised the league match, and gave us space to play. However, you can only play what's in front of you and Amrabat came through the game pretty much flawlessly. Really encouraging to see another midfielder who can win it and play it. We've had to put up with either/or for too long.
His passing is his most outstanding quality that's why he wa the signing I was most excited for. He can give the energy and mobility of McTominay/fred but also be consistently good on the ball.
Seems to have "it" imo

Its sarcasm you quim. Ive been in favour of the signing since we were linked. A lot of posters said what I posted (sarcastically) prior to us signing him.Jesus wept. Mid table?!You’ve never ever watched him play or you have some kind of agenda? Does it not make fans like you feel better that klopp wanted him and Barca couldn’t afford him? Looking forward to you eating humble pie over the next few weeks and months.
Absolutely superb.
Thought it was pretty obvious sarcasm to be fair, yet a couple of people went for it.
Went over your head huhJesus wept. Mid table?!
Might extend Casemiro's shelf life in Europe if he's allowed to play alongside Casemiro going forward.
Yeah he's like a Roy Keane who can't head a ball or score a goal. That sounds as if I'm being critical, but Keane was just that good. However, even with those shortcomings, Amrabat is still a very good player.
I actually got more carrick vibes off him, the way he moves, the way he gets on the ball and moves it around, the way he can switch it to the wings but every time I looked at my tv I could have sworn I saw Veron
Looked good even if it was only palace but looks a good work horse and not afraid to ask for the ball.
Flagged for insensitive baldist remark.
He goes to play CB when we had corners which allowed Casemiro, Maguire and Varane to go into the box that’s a serious threat from set pieces with the correct delivery.
Looking forward to seeing him at the weekend with the senior attacking players leading the line.
Somehow I can't quite believe he showed up more in our own penalty area and right back than at left back, which was his starting position.
Great debut, love the guy already. oozes class.
Hes is Everywhere on the pitch, great passing, great tackling.. confident and strong.
along side casamiro in midfield it looks a very strong combo.

Lovely performance - had somewhat of a free role and ended up playing like 5 different positions. Some of his crossfield passing was exquisite. Can't wait for him to feature more regularly.
Direct hit by the Hairitans
He’s going to be one of the first names on the team sheet after the next few games, we should have had him in from day one of the season yet again the Glazers delaying tactics cost the club.
Been saying it for years, stop buying players that cost £80m because they have a good highlight reel or FIFA ranking, and sign players that would crawl across broken glass to play for a team like United. Teams are built on grafters and supplemented with brilliant technical players. You won't win shit with players that aren't willing to work their arse off for the team. I'd take an Amrabat over a Pogba anyday.
Yes. He'd have made a massive difference in our defeats and perhaps we'd have had a higher points tally now.
Will be interesting to see how he deals with a higher tempo game but last night he was brilliant.
quim is not an acceptable word on this forum. Please replace it with something more sophisticated like "gowl" or "cnut".

Don't think I have been this excited about a performance from a new United player for years. An actual midfielder with composure who knows how to pass and control from deep! We haven't had this since Carrick retired. Casemiro whilst great isn't the calm holding midfielder we needed, this guy is.
True for this game but Maguire is not the regular starter, it's Martinez. So long as Casemiro and Varane play, I'm happy with our areial prowress. The issue is when we replace Case with Amrabat, which will happen in some games.
If only we hadn't cocked about for so long in the transfer window
Calma. I missed the sarcasm so apologies for that. Thanks for the insult, though it feels a tad childish and extreme

ETH has invented the false left back.
Suck on that Pep.
Suck on that Pep.
So, all this nonsense about him once playing in the Dutch league being the main reason we signed him is actually just nonsense.
He seems a good player with qualities we need but it don't change the fact that he does have a history with Eth.
So does Xandro Schenk and Michel Gerritsen Mulkes from Ten Hag's time in Go Ahead Eagles, but you don't see him signing them. It's because they're not good enough, while Amrabat is.
For the record, Amrabat is a much different player now than he was from his time in Utrecht.
amrabat was actually quite poor outside of the WC. The WC boosted his stock, on club level he hasn’t been very good at all
You watched him regularly?
His long passes were great, he manage to find Dalot and Pellestri on numerous occasions. That's a proper footballer unlike McTominay who can pass for his life.
