The summer signing was replaced at half-time in United's goalless draw with Aston Villa on Sunday, with Victor Lindelof taking his place.

This comes hot on the heels of United centre-back Harry Maguire limping off injured against Villa at the weekend, and winger Alejandro Garnacho withdrawing from the Argentina squad with a knee issue. Kobbie Mainoo has also withdrawn from the latest England squad through injury. Red Devils boss Erik ten Hag was hit with a hefty amount of injuries last season and with Leny Yoro, Tyrell Malacia, Luke Shaw and Mason Mount also sidelined, he will hope that bad luck doesn't befall them again this term.
DID YOU KNOW?
Mazraoui swapped Bayern Munich for United this summer and since then he has made 10 appearances in all competitions and made the right-back role his own. In a difficult season for the Red Devils, he has, arguably, been one of their few positives.

United – who sit 14th in the Premier League table after seven matches – will hope Maguire, Garnacho, Mainoo and Mazraoui will be back fit for their upcoming league clash at home to Brentford on October 19.
