Noussair Mazraoui returns to full Manchester United training after injury scare

Manchester United have been boosted by the sight of Noussair Mazraoui back in full training after his injury scare against Newcastle.

The Morocco international was forced off in the 85th minute of last week’s Premier League clash, raising fears he could be set for a spell on the sidelines. Mazraoui looked uncomfortable as he left the pitch, but the issue appears to have been minor, with a week proving enough for him to recover.

The 28-year-old is now in contention to feature in Sunday’s crucial league game against Aston Villa, a key fixture in United’s push for a strong finish to the season.

His return is especially important given his consistency this campaign, having already made 15 Premier League appearances and established himself as a reliable option on the right side of defence.

For Michael Carrick’s side, having Mazraoui available again provides valuable stability and experience at the back heading into a pivotal run of fixtures. It also eases concerns among fans who feared another defensive setback in a season where injuries have often disrupted the team’s rhythm.
