Several Manchester United players will be in action for their countries during August’s international break.

One player set to be involved is Morocco international Noussair Mazraroui, who will be taking part in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.

The new signing has settled in quickly at right-back, after starting in the first two Premier League games of the season.

Mazraroui is one of Morocco’s star players and he will be expected to start against Gabon and Lesotho.

That means United fans will be watching on in fear of any knocks or injuries as is the case whenever other players represent their countries.

Morocco are expected to win both matches.

Even though Mazraroui is a new addition with just two games under his belt, the Moroccan already looks like a positive addition. That is if he can stay fit.
