Zidane Iqbal

Along with midfield partner Charlie Savage, Iqbal did well in screening the defence against an onslaught of raking passes as Fabinho, Andy Robertson and Thiago ...

A clever shimmy to beat Fabinho was among the tricks, and a few of his feints were somewhat reminiscent of a certain Dutchman who may soon be a teammate. At half time against Liverpool, Iqbal took to the field as Fred went off, and the youngster was in energetic spirits as soon as the whistle blew. His hurried pass was intercepted by United’s first ever South Asian player, Zidane Iqbal, who preceded to put the Brazilian on the floor as he dribbled past him and slotted into the net.
