Career so far: Noussair Mazraoui

Those were the words of United sporting director Dan Ashworth, upon the completion of Noussair Mazraoui's transfer to Manchester United on Tuesday evening.

The defender arrives at Old Trafford - alongside former Bayern team-mate Matthijs de Ligt - on a contract until June 2028 and his previous winning experience means the 26-year-old is expected to be an important member of Erik ten Hag's squad for the years to come.

So, how much do you know about Nous? Read on for a summary of the Morocco international's story so far...

Born in the town of Leiderdorp, Netherlands, a young Mazraoui joined Ajax's youth system in 2006 and spent a decade rising through the ranks, before representing de Godenzonen’s second team, Jong Ajax, where he was able to get quality minutes against professionals in the Dutch second tier.
