‘Ighalo better ball holder than Martial’

Former Irish international Brazil played for the Red Devils from 1988 to 1992.

Since arriving from Chinese Super League club Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, Ighalo has netted three times in seven games for Manchester United.

“Martial is different. As a centre-half I’d prefer to play against someone like Martial because you know that if you do give them a little wack from behind, then he’s not going to try and recover that ball. “Ighalo for me is proving people wrong. And he took his goal- I know it was only Derby but it was two good finishes.“If you’ve just got Martial up there, and you want him to hold the ball up so that the runners can get to him, you know he doesn’t do- he’ll probably do it six times out of 10.

“But with Ighalo, from what I’ve seen, his percentage is more than that. You’re talking eight, nine times out of 10, he’ll keep it.”All rights reserved.
