Manchester United starlet Zidane Iqbal signs a new long-term deal at Old Trafford until 2025, with the Iraqi international, 19, hoping to impress new boss Erik ten Hag after making his first team debut in the Champions League

Manchester United prospect Zidane Iqbal has penned a new long-term deal that will keep him at Old Trafford until 2025.

The teenage midfielder was introduced to United fans last season when he made his professional debut in the Champions League during a 1-1 draw against Young Boys in December, with the player brought on in the 89th minute alongside fellow academy graduate Charlie Savage.

Iqbal, 19, was born in Manchester and plays international football for Iraq - his mother's birth country. He joined United at the age of nine and has the option to extend his deal for further year.
