Mazraoui could be right away called by the team from Old Trafford to be in the starting 11 at left-back for the injured Luke Shaw – who is expected to be out until the 1^st international break – when they welcome Fulham in the EPL at the end of the week.

Man United will pay 38.5 million pounds + 4.3 million pounds in add-ons for Matthijs, who was captain of Erik ten Hag’s Ajax team that played in the 2019 UCL ½ finals.

Mazraoui also worked with the Red Devils head coach at the Dutch team, and both footballers shared about Ten Hag’s role in their development.
