'He’s a goalscorer, he was top scorer at the Africa Cup of Nations last summer so he can help the club. He’s a different kind of striker to what we have. He is a very professional player, a good lad and will give something to the group.” Ighalo ManUnited
Ighalo will only meet the rest of United’s squad for the first time on Sunday because the Nigerian striker has trained alone in ‘quarantine’ in Manchester following his move from China as a precaution in case he was carrying the coronavirus.But despite missing United’s winter training camp in Spain, Ighalo, who joined on January 31, is in line to be on the bench for the Premier League clash at Stamford Bridge with United still missing injured leading scorer Marcus Rashford.
“As a striker, you get thrown on out there and it might be he’ll have to come off the bench, give us a goal and he does whatever he’s done. But Solskjaer insisted it was necessary to strengthen United’s goal-shy attack following Rashford’s injury. Apart from Rashford, who has a stress fracture in his back, United will still be without Paul Pogba and Scott McTominay for the game in west London, which is crucial for both clubs in the pursuit of fourth place and qualification for next season’s Champions League.
