Manchester United academy graduate Zidane Iqbal is reportedly in talks for a transfer to Dundee United. The midfielder is currently playing for FC Utrecht but seeks a departure from the Eredivisie club. A potential move to Championship side Blackburn Rovers fell through on Tuesday after necessary paperwork failed to materialize before the English transfer deadline. With the Scottish transfer window closing in hours, interest from Dundee United offers a potential reset for the player. Iqbal, a deep-lying playmaker, struggled to secure consistent playing time at Old Trafford or in the Netherlands. Any final transfer agreement involving Iqbal will include a 40 per cent sell-on clause for Manchester United as part of the initial deal with FC Utrecht.
