DBasia.news – Nigerian legend Nwankwo Kanu believes that Odion Ighalo is capable of being the sharpest attacker Manchester United ever had. He also assessed that Ighalo could also replace the role of Romelu Lukaku who moved to Inter Milan.
Odion Ighalo was loaned to United from Shanghai Shenhua until the end of the season to replace the injured Marcus Rashford. The 30-year player has the opportunity to play with Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood on the front lines.
Ighalo previously had experience playing in the English Premier League, scoring 16 goals in 55 appearances when he played for Watford.
“Odion Ighalo can replace Lukaku. If you see him playing, you will know that he is strong and can score goals. What he needs is a cooked bait. “In this team, I’m sure the game will improve because the team has great players,” Kanu said at Soccerway.
“Despite playing in the Chinese League, Odion Ighalo is not a player you would look down on and say he is not a good player. I believe in him and I know he can be maximized if given the opportunity. Taking him to Old Trafford means those at the club believe in his abilities, and we must respect that. “
“I don’t think he will disappoint because he will give them value for the money they spend,” Kanu added.
In the next match, the Red Devils will travel to Chelsea’s headquarters at Stamford Bridge. Ighalo can make his debut in this fight.
