Sofyan Amrabat believes Manchester United can still do “something big” this season after the Morocco midfielder helped his troubled side get back on track. Amrabat impressed on his first start for the club as he filled in at left-back before switching to his preferred midfield role during Tuesday’s League Cup third-round win against Crystal Palace. 

Amrabat, 27, played a key role in the 3-0 victory at Old Trafford, lifting some of the pressure on the team after a dismal start to the campaign. 
After an injury delayed his debut following his transfer deadline-day arrival from Fiorentina, Amrabat finally came off the bench in Saturday’s 1-0 win at Burnley before starting against Palace. Those victories have changed the mood at the club after United lost four of their opening six matches in a season for the first time since 1986.
