Sofyan Amrabat described his first appearance at Old Trafford as a "perfect night" after helping Manchester United to a 3-0 League Cup win over Crystal Palace. The 27-year-old kicked off his long-awaited start for United on Tuesday after joining the club on a season-long loan from Fiorentina and has shown a willingness to leave. Adapt to help the team.

Amrabat was normally deployed as an attacking midfielder, but against United's London visitors was forced to play at left-back while Sergio Reguilon was rested. He was the first Moroccan player to play for United and admitted after the game that he had worked his whole life for the opportunity to represent the club. I think it was a perfect night. We played very well and most importantly won 3-0. "I played for an hour so I thought it was a perfect night."

“Since I was young, I have always thought about this. I have worked hard throughout my career for this. To play here is great. It was a Tuesday and the stadium was full, it was amazing. I told the manager I would play where he needed me, where the team needed me, even the goalkeeper. I will play where I can help the team. Today I was a left-back, but I had a bit of a vacancy and I played a lot in midfield. It's really good.
