Watch: Man Utd's Zidane Iqbal pulls off insane trick from Maradona in friendly

Manchester United starlet Zidane Iqbal seems to be relishing his chance to impress during the club's pre-season tour.

The 19-year-old Iraq international made his senior debut as a late substitute in a 1-1 draw with Young Boys in the Champions League last December.

He hasn't made another competitive first-team appearance since, but he shone in the youth line-up and it's surely only a matter of time on proof of his cameos in the friendlies of this summer.

Freshly after sending off Fabinho for a hot dog in United's impressive 4-0 win over Liverpool earlier this week, Zidane caught the eye again with a superb trick from Maradona against Melbourne Victory.< /p>

Zidane was introduced at half-time for Scott McTominay as United fought back from one goal behind to beat Victory 4-1 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, and received rave reviews from those watching.

"Zidane Iqbal has heaps of technical qualities, skills and intelligence - especially with the personality to match," Sky Sports reporter Melissa Reddy tweeted in response to his latest post.

"He asks for the ball, moves, scans, never hides and isn't afraid to make a mistake trying to execute what he thinks is the right call."

New manager Erik ten Hag has always been keen to bring in young players during his coaching career, particularly at Ajax, and he looks set to continue United's proud tradition of press his academy.

"I've said before that I think Manchester United have huge potential and very good players," Ten Hag told reporters in his pre-match press conference ahead of the Manchester United friendly. today.

"You have experienced players but also a lot of young boys who have a lot of potential, and now we have to bring out that potential.

"To do that, we have to work very hard. Man United are famous for that and Marcus Rashford is, I think, a symbol of Manchester United's academy and other talents to come that come after."< /p>

Here's the moment halfway through the second half that had United fans raving about their own Zizou.
