Zidane Iqbal

Zidane Iqbal fascinates me because his story sits at so many crossroads. Named after Zidane, raised in Manchester, he came up through United's academy from age nine and made his first-team debut in the Champions League in December 2021, the kind of moment kids dream about. Then came the choices that intrigue me most: opting to represent Iraq internationally, and moving on to Utrecht in the Eredivisie to actually play. I respect that. Plenty of academy talents cling to a big badge and stagnate on the bench. Iqbal looks like someone betting on minutes over prestige, and I'm curious where that bet lands.
