MANCHESTER UNITED were left absolutely baffled after struggling ace Noussair Mazraoui smashed a belter while on international duty with Morocco.
Mazraoui, 28, has failed to establish himself in United’s starting XI ever since his £15million move from Bayern Munich in 2024 as he has been playing second fiddle to Diogo Dalot.
However, the full-back is still sensational for his national team as he helped them shine bright at the World Cup and Africa Cup of Nations.
And Mazraoui led the Atlas Lions to a decisive 2-0 victory over Gabon during a key Afcon qualifier in Rabat.
The right-back opened the scoring with a long-range beauty outside the box, which some Man Utd fans compared to Real Madrid’s legendary full-back Marcelo.
The Red Devils supporters stormed social media in awe as they tried to understand why Mazraoui is so impressive for Morocco but yet so poor at United.
One fan tweeted: “Mazraoui should leave Manchester United next summer. How do you turn into prime Marcelo every time you play for Morocco, then look completely finished in a United shirt?
“At this point, You need to explain if you have a contract with Morocco or Manchester United.”
Another posted: “World class everywhere else, but the moment they put on that United shirt, the system drains their talent.”
A third wrote: “He will turn into a beast when he is playing for his country but when he reaches Manchester United he will be playing like s***.”

This fan said: “That was a beautiful goal, man.”
That one added: “This s*** baffles me as well, I don’t know how he does it…”
And a comment read: “The system is zero, not the players.”
Mazraoui has only managed five appearances across all competitions for Man Utd this season.
More United aces hit the net during the longest ever international break.
Shea Lacey, who counts a goal in three appearances across all competitions this season, was on target as England’s Under-20s beat Italy at the U20 Euro Elite League in Spain.
And Man Utd star Bryan Mbeumo helped Cameroon beat Comoros in their own Afcon qualifier.
