Manchester United are hoping to upgrade their midfield this summer. Christian Eriksen is expected to join on a free transfer and Frenkie de Jong is Erik ten Hag's priority target, but neither has signed yet, which means a number of players have a chance to impress during pre-season.
United's midfield has been the team's weakest area for multiple seasons now, with many fans criticising the 'McFred' partnership, which was borne out of a lack of alternative signings and a clear defensive option. But even if De Jong and Eriksen do sign, it remains to be seen who United will use as the primary backup options.
Scott McTominay and Fred will be hoping to stake their claim, with Donny van de Beek also in the mix, but could some of the young players also stake their claim? Well, based on how Zidane Iqbal performed in his 45-minute appearance against Liverpool on Tuesday he could have a chance.
