But he impressed fans with his maturity during an Under-15’s match last year.

While playing against Tottenham back in March 2022, Ibragimov was awarded a contentious penalty.

After driving into the box, he appeared to be tripped by a defender and was subsequently awarded a penalty.

However, upon closer inspection, he actually fell over himself without making contact with the Tottenham defender.

While several Spurs players appeared to protest the decision, Ibragimov quickly placed the ball on the penalty spot.

But instead of going for goal, he calmly passed it straight to the goalkeeper.

Had he scored, Man Utd would’ve likely won 3-2, but instead the game ended 2-2.

Following his classy penalty gesture, Ibragimov received heaps of praise on social media.

And just over one year later, he was called up to first team training by Erik ten Hag.

Ibragimov is now one of the most highly-rated stars in the United academy.

He penned a pre-scholarship deal with the Red Devils last August before making his debut for the Under-18’s.
