Manchester United teenager Zidane Iqbal will on Thursday step up onto the senior international scene when he makes his debut for Iraq.
The call-up to his national side comes as a reward for the 18-year-old’s impressive performances for United’s Under-23s side, which in turn led to him making his first-team debut in the Champions League earlier this season.
Iqbal is currently out in Asia after flying out to join up with his team-mates ahead of Iraq’s crucial World Cup qualifier against Iran in Tehran.
