manchester united sold 26-year-old england right-back wan-bissaka this summer and signed mazraoui, who is the same age, from bayern munich. it is reported that the club believes that the level of mazraoui and wan-bissaka is not much different, but it makes sense to complete the deal financially.

in the past one or two seasons, the 25-year-old portuguese international diogo dalot has been manchester united's first right back. however, due to the continued injuries of luke shaw and terrell malacia, dalot had to play as a left back for a long time. manchester united originally planned to introduce a new left back, but in the end signed mazraoui, a right back from morocco.

the club believes that left-back luke shaw and malaysia can be given another year to observe, and there are no suitable young and outstanding left-back candidates on the market.

after buying mazraoui, manchester united can sell wan bissaka to west ham united. this change is a right-back with stronger assist ability replacing a right-back with sharp one-on-one defense. mazraoui played for ten hag at ajax and can adapt well to the tactical system of the 54-year-old dutch coach.

wan bissaka has amazing tackling ability and can freeze most of the wingers in one-on-one defense, but his assist ability is quite limited. in contrast, mazraoui came from ajax youth training and has a higher level of ball control and assists.
