Manchester United's Zidane Iqbal has named Barcelona's Frenkie de Jong and Liverpool's Thiago as players he admires.
The Manchester Evening News revealed in January that Iqbal actively studies De Jong, who Erik ten Hag earmarked as his priority signing in the summer transfer window, and the academy graduate has now lauded the midfielder on record.
After impressing Ten Hag with his performances on United's pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia, with Iqbal notably making an appearance in all four matches, the youngster was permanently promoted to the first-team squad for this campaign.
