Manchester United coach Travis Binnion has explained Zidane Iqbal suits a deep midfield role because he is 'fearless'. Iqbal, 19, started in the first team's friendlies against Cadiz CF and Real Betis in Spain last week and he started for the Under-21s on Tuesday against Bolton in the Papa John's Trophy, which was his third appearance in just six days.
United's U21s were defeated 4-0 against Bolton but Iqbal caught the eye throughout the match with a composed performance.
Iqbal, who joined United's academy aged just nine years old, was highly regarded in the youth setup and he was promoted to Erik ten Hag's first-team squad in the summer after impressing on the pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.
