"Mazraoui was not spotted in United training as they prepare for the clash against Brentford on Saturday, prompting the inclusion of youngster Sam Mather in first-team drills as cover. Luckhurst posted the update on his X account: Mazraoui not visible in #mufc training imagery/footage so Sam Mather was drafted into training. Mather is predominantly a winger, so a logical replacement for Mazraoui in 3-4-2-1 training games."
"While there is no definitive public statement yet on the severity, his omission from training has become a talking point, especially in a defense already coping with injuries. Mazraoui's absence places pressure on United's right flank. Losing him, even temporarily, forces the manager to rethink rotation patterns or risk overexposing backup options. Whether Mazraoui's absence is precautionary or indicative of a more serious setback will dramatically change how United manage their squad in the short term."
Noussair Mazraoui was not visible in Manchester United training imagery and was absent from drills ahead of the Brentford match. Youngster Sam Mather was drafted into first-team training as cover, with Mather primarily a winger and a plausible option in 3-4-2-1 training games. The omission has increased concern given existing defensive injury issues and places added pressure on the right flank. Losing Mazraoui, even briefly, could force rotation changes or expose backup options. An update from manager Ruben Amorim is expected soon to clarify whether the absence is precautionary or a more serious setback.
