Manchester United winger Zidane Iqbal is delighted with his chance on preseason tour.

Iqbal made an eye-catching performance against Liverpool in pre-season.

Iqbal played the duration of the second half in Bangkok after replacing Scott McTominay, with manager Erik ten Hag's side going on to win 4-0. Facundo Pellistri scored after the interval following first-half strikes from Jadon Sancho, Fred and Anthony Martial.

He said: “Playing a very strong Liverpool team and obviously coming away with the win, I'd just like to thank the manager for putting his trust in me and Sav (Charlie Savage), you know?

“[I'm] feeling excited, first tour. Honestly, it's been boiling, the sweat, but it's only going to help us with the season, just adapting to the last four days in Bangkok has been tough and obviously we're now going to Australia.

“Nine hours' [time] difference between there and England, I think, so it's going to be tough but exciting times and we look forward to it."
