Iqbal, who has a father from Pakistan and an Iraqi mother, signed his first professional contract in April.
The teenager, who has represented the Iraq Under-23 side in friendlies, is also eligible to play for England or Pakistan.
Zidane has also represented United’s Under-18 and Under-23 sides before making the breakthrough to the senior squad.
The Persian will play Iran on 27 January and Lebanon on 1 February.
