Zidane Iqbal will be sold by Manchester United to FC Utrecht.The Athletic claims that the Dutch team will contribute up to €1 million.
In April 2021, he signed his first professional contract after graduating from the youth academy.
Iqbal demonstrated a lot of promise, and many supporters anticipated that he would advance to the first team.
The 20-year-old will sign a four-year contract to play for the Eredivisie team.
Erik ten Hag did not use Iqbal in any of United's games.Unfortunately, he never got the chance.
There will be inquiries over the €1 million price tag. If the team had been more aggressive in negotiations, a player of his caliber might have brought in a bigger sum.
United has never been good at negotiating contracts, but this time they have exceeded themselves.
Iqbal did not receive nearly enough chances. The team may have chosen to loan him out for a whole season to monitor his progress.
United will be praying that their choice doesn't end up costing them later.
According to reports, United is searching for a new striker, center back, two midfielders, and a goalkeeper in the transfer market.
Regarding his transfer budget, Ten Hag has no idea, and the ownership dispute is still open. He will be hoping for some clarity as soon as possible.
