Iraqi Zidane Iqbal bid farewell to his team, Manchester United, on Thursday, in conjunction with reports confirming his imminent transfer to Dutch club Utrecht.
“Manchester United has been my home since I was five years old,” Iqbal said in a private message on his official Twitter account.
He added, “I have a lot of wonderful memories of my 15 years that I was associated with this wonderful club… There are a lot of people I have to thank.”
He continued, “The Academy is a special place that makes dreams come true for many. This was definitely my case.”
“I will never forget standing on the seam line in the Theater of Dreams, waiting to appear for the first time. This feeling of pride will remain with me forever,” he emphasized.
He concluded by saying, “I will always be a United fan and will always love this club. It’s time to take on a new challenge. This is the perfect opportunity and I can’t wait to get started.”
Iqbal grew up in the Manchester United club academy and graduated in the age groups until he played his first match with the first team in December 2021, against Swiss Young Boys in the Champions League.
Iqbal, 20, won great praise from the “Red Devils” supporters after the remarkable levels he presented with the youth team, but he failed to put his name in the coach Tin Hak’s squad.
A few days ago, news emerged stating that the United administration had agreed to sell Iqbal for 850,000 pounds to Utrecht, and the player is expected to sign a 4-year contract with the Dutch club.
