Dundee United have completed the signing of Iraq international Zidane Iqbal from Dutch side Utrecht, according to BBC News.
The 23-year-old midfielder, a product of Manchester United's academy, arrives having recently featured for Iraq at a successful World Cup campaign. Manager Jim Goodwin was quick to praise the capture, describing Iqbal as a player of "real pedigree" who joins the Tannadice club fresh off international duty.
Iqbal's move to Scotland marks the latest step in a career that began at Old Trafford before he sought regular football away from Manchester United's first-team picture. His switch to Utrecht previously offered him a route into senior European football, and now Dundee United will hope his experience on the World Cup stage translates into an immediate impact in Scottish football.
Further details on the length of Iqbal's contract were not disclosed in the report.
