Nussair Mazraoui on Fishing and Collaborating with Amorim: Exclusive Interview.

Mazraoui – Former Fisherman

According to The Sun: Nussair Mazraoui admitted that he 'tried fishing' after failed attempts during the summer.

However, the Manchester United fan favorite is not going to let that prevent him from fighting for victory against a big Premier League team in the Sunday match in Manchester.

The Moroccan international is ready to play against Manchester City at the Etihad after recovering from an injury before the international break.

The 27-year-old defender stated that he wants to find a new hobby after his failed fishing experience. He told the national magazine:

“I enjoy being with my family and having a few hobbies. In the summer, I fished by the sea, but I didn't catch anything, so I'm now looking for another activity.

“I caught one, but it was small – that’s not what I’m looking for.'

“I fished for a long time. I was fishing three days from five in the morning until one or two in the afternoon, and yes, just one small fish. So now I am a former fisherman.”

Influence of Erik ten Hag

Mazraoui is one of the few players who came into the team under former coach Erik ten Hag and found success at Old Trafford.

He acknowledges that the resignation of his former coach from Ajax is a significant blow just months after their return. He said:

“He was also the reason I came to the club. You don’t come to the club just because of him, but also because of the coach.'

“In some good years, I worked with him at Ajax, so that’s also a reason I came here. And then, when he is not there after two or three months…”

“It's never pleasant because you feel responsible for that. If the players perform well, the coach stays, it's that simple.”

For a while, it seemed that Ruben Amorim could suffer a similar fate, but the victory against Burnley last month at least gave him some breathing room.

Mazraoui notes that the former coach of Sporting Lisbon has all the qualities he appreciates in a leader:

“A great coach, a great person. I enjoy working with him a lot. I like him very much – his mindset, his way of leading, the communication.'

“He is a coach of great values that I also have. So yes, that works great together.”

“He always respects, is always honest. He never lies, says it like it is, without sugarcoating.'

“Sometimes it can be hard, but I would rather know the truth, even if it's a little harsh, than live in a lie.”

It is currently interesting to see how things develop for Mazraoui and his team. The competition in the Premier League is intensifying, and every game will be crucial, not just for the standings but also for the career development of young footballers like Nussair. Will he be able to showcase his skills and become a key player in important matches? Time will tell.
