Manchester United returns to action against Liverpool! Amorin wants to learn from the lesson of the disastrous defeat against Manchester City, and a draw is enough

Manchester United right back Mazrawi will return in the Premier League "double red meeting" between Manchester United and Liverpool at Anfield. He has been sidelined since September 20 due to an undisclosed injury. According to British media, his injury is in his knee.

On this national match day, Mazraoui went to Salle to join the Moroccan national team’s training camp to prepare for the team’s World Cup qualifiers against Congo and Bahrain. The 27-year-old Morocco international underwent a medical assessment and underwent rehabilitation but did not feature in any of the matches.

This week, Mazrawi has returned to Manchester United's Carrington training base and will undergo medical evaluation again. After other international players return, the team will resume normal training. The club announced that it will hold an open training session on Thursday.

After Mazrawi moved to Manchester United from Bayern Munich last season, he was a nearly full-time player. Although he underwent minor heart surgery, he did not miss any games due to treatment during the international match. Together with Andre Onana, Diogu Dalot, Bruno Fernandez and Ganancho, he is the rare player on the team who is not injured.

Data shows that Mazrawi did not suffer a single injury throughout last season. He only missed the Europa League match against Glasgow Rangers due to illness in January. However, Mazraoui has been plagued by health issues this season since pre-season and has missed 4 of Manchester United's 5 warm-up games.

Mazraoui rested for more than a month and returned in Manchester United's 3-2 victory over Burnley at the end of August. He then made consecutive starts against Manchester City and Chelsea, but was injured again and missed the Premier League games against Brentford and Sunderland.

Mazraoui is a key player that Manchester United head coach Ruben Amorim values. Not only has he been included in the six leaders of the locker room, but he also started 38 of the 42 games Amorim coached last season.

Including the guest game at Anfield in January this year, Manchester United drew 2-2 with Liverpool, Mazraoui served as the right wing-back. That game was one of the best games played by Amorim since coaching. This time, Amorim will choose 343's left and right wing-backs between Mazraoui, Dalow, Patrick Dogu and Amad Diallo.

Manchester United defeated newly promoted Sunderland 2-0 before the international break, which eased the pressure on Amorim to be dismissed. In addition, Sir Jim Ratcliffe said that he would be given three years to clear his name. There were not many rumors about coaching changes in the past half month. Manchester United currently ranks 10th in the Premier League with 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses, but if they lose to Liverpool and the score is not good, the rumors of dismissal will heat up again.

Amorim plans to learn from the lessons learned after the last international break. At that time, the team also won against newly promoted Burnley before the interval, but suffered a 0-3 defeat to Manchester City after returning.

At that time, Manchester City also suffered a losing streak. Manchester United was ranked even higher than its opponents. The team and fans were full of expectations. Unexpectedly, the goals of Phil Foden and Erling Haaland quickly brought the Red Devils back to reality.

Now, Liverpool has suffered three consecutive defeats, losing to Crystal Palace, Galatasaray and Chelsea. However, Amorim reminded players not to aim too high. Manchester United has only won 6 Premier League games in the past 8 months, and their opponents were either promoted teams, teams that were eventually relegated, or they played one less player against Manchester United.

Data shows that Liverpool still has a 100% home winning rate, while Manchester United has not won at Anfield since January 2016 and has conceded 10 goals in the past 4 times against its bitter rivals. At the same time, because Egypt has already qualified for the World Cup in advance, Liverpool core Salah directly sat on the sidelines in Sunday's game. Salah is Manchester United's nemesis, scoring 16 times.

It is reported that Amorim will target 1 point, although he will definitely say in public that Manchester United strives to win every game. After winning against Sunderland, a draw against Liverpool or even a small loss by one goal would satisfy Amorin.

Amorim also has some tough decisions to make. For example, in the disastrous defeat against Manchester City, he arranged Casemiro as a substitute and tried to use Ugarte to strengthen the defense, but the result was counterproductive. This week, the 33-year-old Casemiro played all 90 minutes of Brazil's two warm-up matches.
