Who is Manchester United s best signing in recent years? The answer is surprising

Manchester United insiders recently gave high praise to new aid Nussel Mazravie, believing that he is the club's most successful signing in recent years.

Mazravi's performance has been widely praised since joining.

In recent years, Manchester United has encountered setbacks in the transfer market, and high-priced signings such as Sancho, Anthony, Onana and Hoylund have not met expectations, which has disappointed fans. Therefore, the club has high hopes for new additions to Mattus Cunia, Brian Mbumo and Benjamin Sheshko this summer, hoping that they can avoid repeating the same mistakes.

Previously, Bruno Fernandez (joined from Portugal Sports for £47 million) was often regarded as one of the few successful signings. However, according to The Athletic, it is Mazravie who is now called "the best signing in years" within Manchester United.

The Moroccan international joined Bayern Munich for a low price of about £12.8 million, with a very cost-effectiveness. He showed great adaptability on the court and has played in many positions - whether it is right back, central defender, or even as a guest appearance in offensive midfielder during his coaching period.

Mazravi quickly won the trust of his teammates and coaching staff with his outstanding reading and game skills, and his dynamic playing style. His performance on the court has been highly praised, and his post-match score is often stable at 7 or 8 points (out of 10 points). The speed, strength and fighting strength he showed also surprised many people.

"I have been a right back for a long time and have recently played right centre back. But right back is always my favorite and best position. When I get the ball, I know very well what I should do and what I shouldn't do; when I defend, I hardly need to think too much to react. I just want to enjoy the game on the court," Mazravi said in an interview.

Despite missing two games at the beginning of the season due to injury, Mazravie made a comeback in a thrilling 3-2 victory over Burnley on August 30. Currently, he is expected to start in the Manchester City derby against Manchester City this weekend, becoming a key member of the Red Devils' defense.
