Manchester United manager, Erik ten Hag has identified Sofyan Amrabat as a ‘very important’ player in his squad after the Red Devils’ Premier League 3-2 win against Newcastle on Wednesday night.
Ten Hag said the Morocco international is vital in pressing and the counter-press, adding that he played well and did a good job against Newcastle at Old Trafford.
Goals from Kobbie Mainoo, Amad Diallo and Rasmus Hojlund gave Man United the victory against the visitors.
“I think he played a very good game. Very important for us in the pressing and the counter-press,” Ten Hag said at his post-match interview.
“He is doing a really good job keeping the team together, keeping the team compact and we had good moments to press, to control the game.”
Amrabatas greatly struggled since joining Man United on loan from Fiorentina last summer.
