Zidane Iqbal sends message to Erik ten Hag as he plans to break into Man Utd first team

Manchester United youngster Zidane Iqbal has said it's too early to consider a loan move after being given a first-team chance by Erik ten Hag.

Iqbal was handed his senior debut by Ralf Rangnick last season, playing against Young Boys in the Champions League, and followed it up with a first senior international call-up with Iraq. He was one of a number of academy talents taken on United's pre-season tour by new manager Ten Hag and has already impressed the Dutchman since linking up with the senior players in the squad.

The midfielder turned 19 in April and has been linked with a loan move to get a taste of competitive football at a senior club level. However, with United relatively light in midfield, he could yet have a bigger part to play at Old Trafford than first thought.
