Zidane Iqbal has sealed his move from Manchester United to Eredivisie side Utrecht.
FC Utrecht have confirmed the signing of Zidane Iqbal, unveiling the Manchester United player as a new addition.
Via the club’s official website, they confirm Iqbal has signed a four-year contract. Manchester United have also confirmed the move, describing the switch as being for an ‘undisclosed fee’.
The MEN reports the move is for £860,000, but United could still earn more at a later date.

Zidane Iqbal sell-on clause
Manchester United have negotiated a 40 per cent sell on clause as part of the transfer, meaning the club could net a substantial sum from his next transfer.
This also would entitle United to a significant reduction on price if the Red Devils tried to buy him back.
Utrecht excited by Iqbal deal
Utrecht technical director Jordy Zuidam spoke about why he is pleased to secure the deal for the 20-year-old midfielder.
He explained: “Zidane is a very creative midfielder, with a very good understanding of the game.
“He can intercept balls, uses his body well in duels and is intelligent. In addition, he can be at the beginning of an attack, thanks to his good short and long pass. Zidane plays with guts and has a high speed of action.
“With his dribbling and passing, he is able to speed up the game. We are very proud that Zidane wants to take the next step in his development at FC Utrecht.”
Iqbal is ready to get started, writing on social media: “New beginnings, let’s go.”
Last week he penned a goodbye message to Manchester United, receiving numerous responses of good luck from his teammates.
