Injury Shoulder
Est. Return 6/13/2026
2025 Fantasy Outlook
Mazraoui was almost ever-present for Manchester United in the 2024/25 season, starting in 34 of his 37 appearances and filling a number of roles. He saw time as a center-back but also as a wing-back on both flanks. Manchester United should recover numerous injured players, especially at center-back, which could mean fewer minutes for Mazraoui. Still, his positional flexibility should allow him to make the XI frequently even if his upside is capped due to a lack of offensive output, posting just 13 shots and 20 chances created last season.
Could return for opener
Mazraoui has returned to training after working in the gym as a precaution following a shoulder injury sustained in the Norway friendly, and could be available for Morocco's World Cup opener against Brazil on Saturday, according to Manchester United.
ANALYSIS
Mazraoui landed awkwardly on his shoulder during the 1-1 draw against Norway but has been carefully assessed by Morocco's medical team and retained in the squad, unlike teammates Nayef Aguerd (pubalgia) and Ez Abde (knee) who have been replaced. The Manchester United left-back is expected to be one of the first names in coach Mohamed Ouahbi's starting lineup and the Atlas Lions will be relieved to have their key defensive option available for what promises to be one of the most anticipated group stage fixtures of the entire tournament at the MetLife Stadium.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Old Trafford bound?
Manchester United are close to completing a move for Mazraoui, according to Sky Sports Germany.
ANALYSIS
Manchester United could end up signing two players from Bayern Munich at once, as they're also quite close to completing a deal for Matthijs De Ligt, a former Ajax player who thrived under manager Erik ten Hag in the Eredivisie giant. Mazraoui would be a solid addition to the defensive line, particularly due to his ability to play full-back on both flanks.
