Zidane Iqbal asked what his favourite position is at Manchester United

Manchester United youngster Zidane Iqbal has admitted that he is happy to play in any position so long as he is involved in Erik ten Hag's plans.

The 19-year-old, who put pen to paper on a new contract at Old Trafford last month, made the admission after producing an eye-catching second-half performance in Friday's 4-1 win over Melbourne Victory at Melbourne Cricket Ground. The youngster, just as he did against Liverpool on Tuesday in Thailand, stepped off the bench at half-time.

Manager Ten Hag made the decision to rotate his pack at the break, making ten changes, meaning Iqbal joined fellow youngster Charlie Savage in central midfield. Iqbal produced a polished display and showed no shortage of confidence, getting on the ball and producing some smart passes.

The most eye-catching and attention-grabbing moment of his performance came when he produced an outstanding piece of skill to turn Chris Ikonomidis, who had given Melbourne an early lead, and spin away from the striker. Iqbal often drifted towards the right from his central area, suggesting that he is confident in moving into other areas of the pitch.

And the youngster, who has been with United since the age of nine, confirmed that he is happy to do whatever Ten Hag asks of him.

"I don't mind playing in a double pivot, as a No.10 or on the wing, anywhere the manager asks me to play," Iqbal told United View. "When I was younger I used to play as a No.10, but over time you adapt your game a bit more. But if it's the wing, or anywhere, I don't mind as long as I am on the pitch."
