Charlie Savage went one better than his dad Robbie in making the step up from academy to senior side. But we’re here to talk about Zidane.
Not Zizou – Zidane Iqbal, 18 years of age, who has become the first British South Asian footballer to play for United at senior level.
Really brilliant. He was born in Manchester to an Iraqi mother and Pakistani father; the latter is a qualified football coach and has been involved in nurturing his son’s abilities.
All we know at the moment is that he has played and scored for – and captained – the Iraq U23s, but he’s still eligible to play for England if he so chooses.
He’s a very talented futsal player, he’s part of the PFA’s Asian Inclusion Mentoring Scheme (helping young, Asian would-be footballers) and when he was a kid, his Sale United coach used to put him in goal when he was too good for the opposition. Which was often.
Oui. On the subject of which, he’s said, “To be honest, when I was younger I didn’t really think anything of it. But, as I got older, I found out there was a great, great player called Zinédine Zidane.”
Zut alors.
