Noussair Mazraoui, a player from the Manchester United team, expressed his thoughts on the recent match against Chelsea at Old Trafford. The game ended in a draw, but Mazraoui believed that his team deserved more than just a point. Although the first half was not filled with high-quality plays, the Red Devils appeared to have a strong chance of winning after Bruno Fernandes scored a penalty in the 70th minute. However, their lead was short-lived as Moises Caicedo from Chelsea equalized the score just five minutes later. Both teams had opportunities to score before the match ended, but ultimately, the spoils were shared.
When asked about his opinion on the result, Mazraoui did not agree that a draw was a fair outcome. According to him, Manchester United put up a good fight and created more chances, making them the better team on the field. He firmly believes that they deserved a win. Unfortunately, the draw leaves the Red Devils at the 13th spot in the Premier League table, their worst start to a season with only 12 points from 10 games. They have only scored nine goals so far, which is the third-lowest in the league, behind Crystal Palace and Southampton.
Since joining the team from Bayern Munich, Mazraoui has been performing well. However, he acknowledges that their recent results have not been satisfactory. In order to improve, Mazraoui believes that the team needs to work on various aspects of their game. He stated, "If you look at the table, it's clear that we do not belong in this position. We need to step up and move away from the bottom as quickly as possible. This is not what our team is capable of, we have too much quality for that."
As interim manager Ruud van Nistelrooy remains unbeaten, he also shared his thoughts on the match. He expressed disappointment in not being able to secure all three points, but he also praised the players for their performance. He specifically mentioned Mazraoui as one of the standout players, along with Lisandro Martinez, Matthijs de Ligt, and Casemiro. Van Nistelrooy also commended Bruno Fernandes for taking on the responsibility to score the penalty and being involved in most of the team's attacks.
In the end, the match may have ended in a draw, but both teams put up a good fight. Chelsea may have been the stronger side in the first half, but Manchester United showed determination and resilience in the second half. Although the Red Devils are not satisfied with their current position in the league, they are determined to work hard and improve their performance in the upcoming matches. As for Mazraoui, he remains a key player in the team and will continue to give his best on the field.
