Zidane Iqbal has been circled as a potential future Manchester United star following a productive display in Wednesday’s 4-2 friendly loss to Cadiz.
The youngster has not yet been granted his first senior minutes under Erik ten Hag but is currently training with the first team and has made the matchday squad nine times this season. He played 165 minutes in pre-season and was one of the standout academy performers during the tour of Thailand and Australia.
The Iraq international started the match against Cadiz after being included in the squad to participate in a week-long training camp in Spain amid the World Cup break. He impressed again and his quick drive led to him winning a penalty, which Anthony Martial cheekily scored with a Panenka.
