Iraqi Zidane Iqbal, a player of Manchester United football club, has officially announced the end of his journey with the Red Devils team after 15 years.
Zidane Iqbal, 20, did not get a chance to play for Manchester United last season and remained on the bench.
Iqbal appeared with the U-21 youth team in 13 matches in all competitions, but Dutch manager Erik Ten Hag confirmed that the club did not need his services, which led the player to decide to leave for good.
Zidane Iqbal posted an emotional message to the United fans via his official Twitter account in which he said: “Manchester United has been my home since I was five years old because the club has helped me grow and so has my family.”
He added, “I have so many great memories of 15 years ago. I have had the opportunity to play with so many teammates that I will always call friends and work with coaches who have supported me in many different ways.”
He continued, “I will never forget to stand at the junction line in the Theater of Dreams, waiting for my debut. This sense of pride will live with me forever.”
And he concluded: “I am pleased to play for a club like Manchester United, because it is one of the elite clubs in Europe. I had a great opportunity to play with many stars.”
