All things going to plan, February might be a very special month indeed for Sofyan Amrabat and Hannibal Mejbri. The target: two finals in 14 days.
The aim: gold medals at the end of them, one for country, one for club. On the second aspiration, the pair have a common focus.
On Tuesday at Old Trafford, Amrabat made his first start for Manchester United, and by the time he was substituted, a 3-0 victory over Crystal Palace to begin United’s defence of the English League Cup secured, he could hear sustained, heartfelt applause for a performance of resourcefulness and authority.
Hannibal, meanwhile, was making his first home start for United. He distinguished the landmark occasion with trademark energy.
