BEVERLY HILLS, July 03, (THEWILL) – Odion Ighalo says he brings something different to Manchester United’s attacking style of play, adding that it is a positive development for the English Premier League side.
The Nigerian, who spoke to United Review, said the main strikers in the team play differently, giving the team robust striking options.
Ighalo said: “Martial is very skillful, he’s a direct striker. He likes to play with the ball at his feet. Rashy likes to run in behind. I think I bring different things to the strikers we have.
“I can play with my back to goal, I can keep the ball. I’m strong so it’s different, you know, and for the different games, we play different patterns and with different strategies. So, it’s good to have different types of strikers in order to accomplish what you want.”
Ighalo also added that he has metamorphosed into a better player since his departure from Watford in 2017.
“I think I’ve gained more experience now and I push my game a little bit more than when I was at Watford.
“I think I’m even stronger now than I was then and have a bit more fighting ability now to give, plus I have the experience to do what it takes on the field to score goals and to help the team. I feel I have improved from then to now.

“You have to keep the mentality the same, work hard and take the chance when it comes. You play for the team, even if you don’t score a goal, you can give an assist and work for the team. That’s the most important thing because it’s a team game.”
