# Noussair Mazraoui scores as Manchester United stars impress on international duty

**Noussair Mazraoui was the standout Manchester United player on international duty on Friday after finding the net for Morocco in their 2-0 win over Gabon.**

The defender opened the scoring in Rabat in the 36th minute, driving forward before sending a low right-footed shot from around 20 yards into the corner. It was Mazraoui’s third goal for Morocco and his first since October 2020.

Soufiane Rahimi added a second late on as Morocco made a winning start to their Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.

[Youri Tielemans](https://readmanutd.com/squad/youri-tielemans/) and [Senne Lammens](https://readmanutd.com/squad/senne-lammens/) both completed 90 minutes for Belgium in their 2-0 Nations League victory over Italy in Rome. Tielemans continued as captain, while Lammens earned his fourth senior cap and kept a clean sheet.

Mika Godts and Dodi Lukebakio scored Belgium’s goals.

## **Leny Yoro waits for France debut**

[Leny Yoro](https://readmanutd.com/squad/leny-yoro/) was an unused substitute as France began their Nations League campaign with a 1-0 win over Turkey. Kylian Mbappe scored the only goal before suffering an injury.

Yoro will now hope to make his senior debut when France face Belgium on Monday.

[Andrey Santos](https://readmanutd.com/squad/andrey-santos/) also remained on the bench for Brazil in their 1-1 friendly draw with Australia. Nestory Irankunda gave the hosts the lead before Rayan scored a late equaliser for Brazil.

[Manchester United](https://readmanutd.com/tag/manchester-united/) will have several more players in action on Sunday. Patrick Dorgu’s Denmark face Wales, while Joshua Zirkzee’s Netherlands meet Serbia, both at 17:00 BST.

Later, [Bruno Fernandes](https://readmanutd.com/squad/bruno-fernandes/) and Diogo Dalot are expected to be involved as Portugal travel to Norway.
