Sofyan Amrabat claims Manchester United have not seen him at his best | OneFootball

Sofyan Amrabat has claimed that he will always give 100% for Manchester United and stressed that fans of the club have not seen him at his best due to his sporadic game time.

The Moroccan arrived to much fanfare on deadline day last summer but he has failed miserably to live up to expectations.

He has barely played in the second half of the season, mostly only making short cameos off the bench since returning from the African Cup of Nations in February.

However, due to Casemiro having to fill in at centre back, he has been given the opportunity to play in midfield against both Arsenal and Newcastle and he has impressed when given the chance with his tireless energy.

He played 87 minutes against the Gunners at the weekend and the full match last night. One of the most important moments in the game and probably Amrabat’s season was when he chased back alone against three Newcastle attackers and miraculously blocked Alexander Isak’s goal-bound effort.

The intervention came at a crucial point as the Magpies had just equalised and would have gone 2-1 up in the match at that point.

Speaking to MUTV after the game about fighting to return to the team, Amrabat said: “It was not easy, of course, because everybody wants to play.”

“I had to be patient, but I was always ready for the team. when they need me, where they need me, even it was one minute or 10 minutes. I always give my best, in training, I try to help the team.”

Amrabat clearly expressed some regret over his time at United by claiming, “I think there’s only one thing that you can do; work hard and wait till the chance will come. [It’s] maybe a bit late, end of the season, but I’m happy that the chance came and that we won today.”

“It’s also nice to show yourself, but it’s still not Sofyan Amrabat on the top, how I can play. It’s my second game now in four, five months that I played 90 minutes, so I’m not 100 per cent as normal.”

“But I’m very happy that I showed that I played good, and the team played good, and we wanted to win this game”.

It seems like it is too little too late for the Morocco star but as it appears the decision not to keep the player beyond his loan deal was made a long time ago.

However, if he can play a crucial role in guaranteeing some sort of European football next season and win the FA Cup, he can perhaps look back at his time in Manchester in some sort of positive light.
