Zidane Iqbal has admitted that it "didn't make sense" for him to leave Manchester United on loan this summer after completing a permanent move to FC Utrecht.
The academy graduate, who joined United at the age of just nine-years-old, finalised a move to the Dutch outfit on Monday, putting pen to paper on a four-year deal. It is understood that he has joined the club for a fee of €1million.
Despite the low-cost fee, United have inserted a 40 per cent sell-on clause in the deal, meaning the prospect of the Iraqi international moving onto bigger and better things in the future will provide the Reds with a cash injection. Many expected Iqbal to leave the club on loan this summer after a frustrating 2022/23 campaign.
