Manchester United of England striker, Odion Jude Ighalo is reeling out words of praise to one of his teammates at Old Trafford, as he says fellow-attacker, Mason Greenwood has shown a lot of rare qualities for a player of his age, megasportsarena.com reports.
In taking stock of his first two months with The Red Devils, which was cut shot by the suspension of football matches due to coronavirus, Ighalo said he has already seen a lot of Greenwood to convince him that the youngster is a hero to watch in future.
With Greenwood having scored a couple of attractive goals and provide key passes that led to assists for him and other pals in the squad, Ighalo is quick to point out that the youngster is a huge asset to United’s hopes.
The former Super Eagles’ striker, who has also scored four goals in three starts, eight matches overall, since arriving on loan from Shanghai Shenhua of China in January, added that he is sure that Greenwood will play a big part in United’s fortunes for the immediate and long-term spells.
His words an additional lift for the 18-year-old Greenwood, who has been tipped by many EPL observers for big things at Old Trafford and, under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s tutelage this season, he has begun to make his mark.
With Greenwood having played 37 times for the first team, netting 13 goals along the way, including five in the EPL, despite not yet being a not yet a regular starting player, Ighalo, who was brought to the club in January in a bid to increase their attacking depth, says the lad only needs a little patience before he will explode into glory.
Ighalo said: “He’s very young and exciting. Very good player, left and right, he can shoot and score goals. He’s a player for the future for Man United. He’s doing well now but in two or three years he is going to be doing very, very well.”
