Moroccan defender Noussair Mazraoui admits “It Broke Us” after Manchester United’s collapse

Noussair Mazraoui has opened up about what Manchester United lacked during their latest setback, with the Moroccan defender offering a candid assessment of the team’s collapse after West Ham’s equaliser.

Manchester United dropped more points on Thursday night after a frustrating 1–1 draw at Old Trafford. Mazraoui, who featured in the match, did not hide his disappointment when he spoke to the club’s media.

The full-back explained that the team approached the game with determination.

“We wanted the win from the first whistle. At 1–0, you could see that commitment everywhere on the pitch,” he said.

Mazraoui then described how the match shifted dramatically once West Ham scored.

“After their goal, we lost all our energy. It broke us,” he admitted, a moment that summed up the fragile confidence surrounding the squad this season.

Keane rejects Mazraoui’s explanation

Former Manchester United captain Roy Keane criticised both the performance and Mazraoui’s comments.

The outspoken pundit argued that the team lacked intensity long before the equaliser.

“United made changes and played like they already had the game won. Everything happened in slow motion,” Keane said, insisting that the Red Devils never showed the urgency required to secure three points.

United face struggling Wolves next

Manchester United now turn their focus to their next Premier League fixture on Monday.

They will meet Wolverhampton Wanderers, who sit bottom of the table with only two points and continue to endure a disastrous start to their season.

The match offers United a chance to regain momentum, but pressure continues to mount as performances remain inconsistent and frustrations grow inside the dressing room.
