Iqbal was spotted on his way into Old Trafford ahead of the Europa League quarter-final tie.

And he looks set to be named in the matchday squad, possibly on the bench.

The 19-year-old made his debut against Young Boys in the Champions League last season.

That was under previous boss Ralf Rangnick, with Ten Hag yet to play Iqbal despite naming him in 14 matchday squads.

The midfielder was handed a start in United’s 4-2 friendly defeat to Cadiz in December, and impressed.

Fans praised Iqbal after he won a penalty and some called for him to be handed more first-team opportunities.

And they did the same after Iqbal performed well for Iraq during the international break last month.

Ten Hag will be without top goalscorer Marcus Rashford after he picked up a muscle injury during the 2-0 win at Everton.

Luke Shaw is also expected to miss the first leg along with Alejandro Garnacho.

However, Ten Hag will be boosted by the return of Casemiro after his domestic suspension. The returns of Christian Eriksen and Anthony Martial are also timely additions.
