Sofyan Amrabat told he looks like a 'fish out of water' during Manchester United defeat to Crystal Palace
Man United were unable to find a breakthrough at Old Trafford and were beaten 1-0 by Roy Hodgson's side.
Former Blackburn and Chelsea striker Chris Sutton claims Sofyan Amrabat looked 'like a fish out of water' playing at left-back during Saturday's 1-0 defeat to Crystal Palace.
United were unable to repeat Tuesday's commanding 3-0 Carabao Cup win, falling flat at Old Trafford against a resolute Palace. Joachim Andersen's deflected first-half effort was the only goal of the game and despite dominating possession, Erik ten Hag's side were unable to break through.
With Sergio Reguilon unavailable for the game, Amrabat was again dropped into left-back. The Moroccan was excellent in that role during Tuesday's cup clash, drifting into midfield and marshaling Jesurun Rak-Sakyi with ease.

But he found things a lot harder on Saturday, this time against the experienced Jordan Ayew. And after he gave away a soft free-kick midway through the second half, Sutton provided his verdict on a tough afternoon.
