Countless Manchester United fans were left purring at the potential of midfielder Zidane Iqbal after he played a key role in helping the Reds get back into their friendly with Cadiz CF in Spain on Wednesday evening.
After finding themselves 2-0 down with less than a quarter of an hour on the clock, United, who looked very vulnerable defensively in the opening exchanges, got themselves back into the contest via a cooly-taken penalty from Anthony Martial. The Frenchman, who has struggled on the injury front this season, was brave enough to attempt a Panenka and sent goalkeeper Jeremias Ledesma the wrong way.
Although it was Martial, who started in attack alongside Alejandro Garnacho and Anthony Elanga, that scored the goal to halve the deficit, it was the work of Iqbal in the build-up to the penalty being awarded that earned much of the praise from fans. The Reds academy graduate interchanged with Martial after looking to up the ante and drew a foul inside the box.
