Mazraoui issues Europa League warning to Man Utd team-mates about Rangers' Igamane

Manchester United defender Noussair Mazraoui has issued a warning to his teammates about the threat of facing Rangers striker Hamza Igamane.

The Morocco internationalist, 27, is well aware of the importance of stopping the on-fire Rangers forward when the clubs meet in the Europa League next week.

Philippe Clement's side travel to Old Trafford for the tie on Thursday with hopes on sealing progression into the knockout stage.

Rangers are currently eighth in the league phase table with opponents Manchester United one point ahead in seventh.

Mazraoui is expecting a tough challenge, especially against Igamane as he tipped the 22-year-old for a call-up to the Morocco national team.

“The people in Morocco are speaking about Igamane’s goals in Scotland," the Man Utd full-back told the Daily Record.

"It’s not easy to score in a good league so it shows he’s working well at Rangers.

"It won’t be unusual if he makes it to the national team but obviously it’s the choice of the coach.

“Stopping Igamane is one of the challenges for us. He has been excellent for Rangers.

"Our defenders will need to pay attention to him and not give him space in the penalty area.

"That will be really important.”
