Noussair Mazraoui #3

Profile

A devout Muslim, Mazraoui’s career has been shaped by his faith. In 2024 he asked for special permission from the Moroccan federation to make the pilgrimage to Mecca during an international break. “The link between Manchester United and the Muslim community is very important because the community is close to my belief. And if I can give them a little back, that’s something good to do,” he said in an interview with his club. After suffering his fair share of injuries, Mazraoui revealed that a change to his diet has helped him greatly. “I’m not drinking any sodas any more – fizzy drinks. It changes a lot because of the sugar, you don’t get it in your body any more. Just water makes a huge difference eventually,” he told the Athletic last year.
