Iqbal shows promise
Erik ten Hag named Zidane Iqbal in Manchester United's squad for the pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia and the midfielder was the only youngster to play in all four friendly matches, which suggested he was highly regarded.
Iqbal was desperate to impress during that tour and he pleased Ten Hag with his training performances, although that didn't stop the Dutchman from scolding him in training. "Keep the ball on the floor. Zidane, hey! Easy ball, that's f****** rubbish," Ten Hag shouted at the 19-year-old during a session in Perth and the footage of that moment quickly went viral, unsurprisingly.
