European football can be a very complicated sport for many and very difficult to climb for others, due to the high demand for players, the lack of opportunities or the low level of commitment that some players have when it comes to elite football matches.  


At Manchester United this has not been the exception; many young players have paraded through the club without being able to establish themselves as big stars and key players for the Reds Devils, which has led them to seek opportunities at clubs with lower aspirations than United and this makes them lose focus and makes their return to elite football more difficult. 
Not every player who wears the Manchester shirt can be a Cristiano Ronaldo, a Beckham, a Rooney or a Cantona, but it is true that at the club they are required from day one to perform according to the history of the institution and to be part of the club's objectives, which is always to win in all competitions. 
And this is the case of Zidane Iqbal, the 20-year-old Iraqi, who has spent most of his life at the club of his love and who has had the opportunity to not only see, but to play with his greatest idols and also to be present at the last title we won the Premier League and the Champions League. However, this has not been enough for Erik Ten Hag to keep Iqbal, who has already informed him of his decision that he will not be involved in next season's plans.

The 20-year-old Iraqi starlet will leave the club in the coming days after making 56 appearances, 3,794 minutes, 11 goals and three assists in youth competitions and not even getting the chance to make his Premier League debut for the club.
