Noussair Mazraoui had a patchy injury record at Bayern Munich, but had made a positive start at Manchester United. The problem is, he has not had a break at United, due to the lack of rotation options at the position. He was making his 10th start for Manchester United against Aston Villa, and is now out with an injury.
