Manchester United defender Noussair Mazraoui was spotted leaving the Etihad Stadium with what looked to be a limp on Sunday evening.

Mazraoui played 78 minutes of United's dramatic 2-1 win over their city rivals and did superbly well to keep Jeremy Doku quiet on the right. He came off and was replaced by Antony before goals from Bruno Fernandes and Amad handed United all three points.

At the time, Mazraoui left the Etihad pitch with no problems and watched his teammates turn the game around from the sidelines. However, a video on social media has appeared showing the Morocco international appearing to limp.

A video posted by the Daily Mail of certain United players passing through the media mixed zone includes Mazraoui appearing to limp through with his wash bag in one hand and his match-worn shirt in a plastic bag in the other.

Ruben Amorim didn't mention the right-back's fitness in his post-match press conference which could be a positive sign that it may be something minor. United are in action on Thursday night against Tottenham in the EFL Cup quarter-final, a game Mazraoui could play in.

However, with the form of Amad and Diogo Dalot's capability to play at left-back and right-back, Amorim may decide to rest the former Bayern Munich man. United are next in Premier League action next Sunday when they take on high-flying Bournemouth.
