Odion Ighalo is one of the positive surprises that happened at Manchester United says the former United goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel. Ighalo was given in loan from Shanghai Shenhua on January transfer window. Since then his performance for the club has been impressive he has scored four goals from appearing in eight matches. His contract with United was to end at May but due to the COVID 19 pandemic, it has been extended till January 2021 to ensure his presence on the remaining matches of the current season.

Schmeichel has praised Ighalo for his character and his game on the pitch. His personality is very much likeable and everyone has made a positive attitude towards him. This kind of personality will change the attitude of the whole club and bring more positivity to the club. It’s better to have a person who makes jokes inthe dressing room than to have a person who is angry.

Manchester City academy coach Colin Little has said that Marcus Rashford has proved his doubters wrong by scoring from a variety of different positions. The England international has featured regularly on the left side of the attack this term but he has still amassed 19 goals across all competitions for the club.

That has earned him plenty of plaudits and Little has been impressed with Rashford’s ability to score while starting from a wide attacking position, he told:“People would say Marcus won’t be able to score the right amount of goals on the left but he has got so many different ones now. You can tell a striker is getting better by the variety of goals he scores; from his head, left foot and right foot. If you actually look through his goals, he is scoring a variety. You add on penalties and free-kicks and then your numbers really start to go up.”

While Shaw and Maguire fared impressively with multiple clearances and interceptions on the night, Bailly equally excelled as he managed to make three key blocks.
