Been raving about this guy since the world cup. So glad he’s ours and he’ll make a huge difference.

Love him already. He’s going to be a fan favorite along with Licha and Case
Manchester United's Sofyan Amrabat, speaking to Sky Sports: "I think it was the perfect night. We played very well and most importantly won 3-0.
"I played for an hour so I think [it was] a perfect night."
On making his debut: "Since I was a child, I worked for this. I worked very hard my whole career, my whole life for this. To play here is amazing.
"It's Tuesday and the stadium is full, it's fantastic."
On playing left-back: "I told the manager I would play wherever he needs me, wherever the team need me, even if it's goalkeeper.
"I'll play where I can help the team. Today it was left-back but I had a bit of a free role and I played a lot in the midfield. It was nice.
"I like to touch the ball and have it always. I'm not a left-back that will play from the line. I tried to give the team an extra option.
"I'll play where the team needs me, I prefer to play in midfield but if it's left-back, it's left-back."
On his fitness: "I'm not at my best at the moment because I've not had a perfect pre-season and a little injury.
"I've trained really hard the last two or three weeks to get to 100% but I need games. If you play games you get stronger and better.
"It's not been the most easy time but it's clear United is a huge club. The pressure is high but we want this. We want to win and we'll push very hard to win and give the fans much more."

What a man! Perfect attitude and said all the right things. Can't wait until he gels with his teammates and also reaches peak fitness
Moroccan Phillip Lahm.
Good guy.
Lahm wishes.
I mean Amrabat can grow hair
That is a long time ago though... he might have lost the ability!
I am in love what a man, bald and beautiful.
Great early signs of his professionalism and desire to play for us.
I remember being similarly enthralled by Fred's words about 'carrying the piano for the artists to play' and his time here didn't exactly pan out the way we wanted it to. So I'll be cautiously optimistic here as well.

I liked him very much at the WC. IMO the type of midfielder United lacked for quite a while.
Is he actually bald or is he doing an ashely young?
This must give the stats freaks a migraine.
The performance tonight is what we truly call 'an engine', not Scott's halfhearted jogging throughout a match
Smooth operator
Such a breath of fresh air, honestly cant remember the last time a player walked into this team for the first time and did exactly what he was brought in to do.
You couldn't have asked for a better debut.
Kept it simple, didn't force it he just did the basics which is exactly what we have been lacking. Too many players in the team who can pull off the spectacular sometimes but are completely poor in doing the simplest of things.
Made Cas have the freedom to do his thing and look like the world class player he has always been. Funny how a bunch of cafas on here kept insisting he can only play in stead of Cassy and not with, therefore he shouldn't be bought. Long may it continue

It's like having Sancho back in the side.
He was terrific.Don't think he was bald, just likes to shave his head
He would rather play left back for Manchester United than in midfield for Liverpool. What’s not up love about this guy
He is what we pretended McT and Fred to be, and he was half fit tonight. Great game and I think he will be a fan favorite.
Very neatly groomed
Great debut. Looking forward to seeing more of him
Pretty much this, even if he's not elite, he's filling a gaping hole in our squad that improves our midfield immensely.
Yep hes the profile we have severely missed. Should be a great signing when he gets up to the speed of the Prem.
I've never been aroused by heat map before
Great debut, he's gonna be a good player for us.
Heat map of a genuine United fan, checking all four corners of OT
Who curbed your enthusiasm pal?
Looked good tonight. But Palace were piss poor. Cant wait to see what he does against real opposition. We could have used him against Arsenal and Spurs for sure.
That's a joke, surely?
Haha I particular liked the 5 mins he stood and had a chat with Onana, just to shade in a bit more on the heat map.
Quality player.
Wonderful attitude. I love him. What a great signing.
Having a player who constantly wants the ball really shows up some players who have played in the middle in recent years
Absolutely changed the way we played tonight
And one who knows what to do with the ball when he does get it, that's also a change of pace for us.
So many great qualities and abilities even if he isn't necessarily the greatest at any of them. The engine and desire to succeed here will serve us immensely. Can't see him going into hiding in a big match, which we knew already given the WC exploits but feels so refreshing to see in our shirt. Will be a proper upgrade to the squad.
This guy must start Saturday, he creates a strong defensive wall but it’s the way he keeps and recycles the ball that impresses me and his positional play. Plus he’s 6’2 and so press resistant, next to Casemiro, Varane, Maguire or Evans we look like a real threat from corners and free kicks.
