My Physical Presence Will Help Manchester United - Ighalo

By Sampson Adedeji

Former Nigeria's Super Eagles striker Odion Ighalo believed his physical presence will surely help Manchester United.

Ighalo who joined the Red Devils on the deadline day will initially deputise for Rashford, with the crocked 22-year-old not expected back until midway through next month at the very earliest, BSN Reports.

He furthered praised the French International Anthony Martial and club youngsters.

“United have a striker that stays mostly in the middle, but Martial likes to come from the side, even Rashford and all that, so you need someone in the middle that can keep the ball, hold the ball, because I’ve watched so many United games.

“So they need a physicality there up front to keep the ball, to give and to make some movement, which I believe, if everything goes well, I can add to the team.”

Greenwood is a very good player; young, very good left foot, I’ve watched some of his game.

Martial is very skilful, he can do so much magic with the ball and Rashford I think is, for me, one of the best, if not the best, player in Europe right now.

He’s doing well, scoring goals; he’s fast, he has good technique. Unfortunately, he is injured now and hopefully I am looking forward to playing with him, because he is a good player.

“So, for me, it is just a plus to the team, to work hard with these guys and make sure we end the season very well," he concluded.
