United have accepted an offer from Dutch side FC Utrecht for midfielder Zidane Iqbal.

Sources have told the Manchester Evening News that the bid made by the Eredivisie outfit, believed to be around €1million, has been accepted by United. Iqbal completed a medical on Monday and is set to sign a four-year deal with the Dutch side, calling time on an 11-year spell with the club.

The 20-year-old had been named in the matchday squad 17 times this season but failed to make an appearance under Erik ten Hag. Iqbal changed agents recently, signing with Sports Entertainment Group - the same agency as Ten Hag - who promised him a move to the Eredivisie.

Gary Lineker has named Manchester United as one of the three clubs with the greatest pulling power in world football.

According to Forbes, United rank as the second-most valuable club in the world, just behind Real Madrid. Barcelona are third.

United’s pulling power was tested last year amid the absence of Champions League football. They splashed out £225m last summer as Erik ten Hag looked to make his mark at the club.
