Ighalo Names The Two Manchester United Players That Have Stood Out Since His January Move

Anthony Martial and Bruno Fernandes are the two players who have stood out most since Odion Ighalo's transfer to Manchester United in the January transfer window, the former Nigeria international has revealed.

Having trained alongside Martial, Ighalo believes the Frenchman is a better player than he appears on television.

Since the close of the winter transfer market, the former Monaco striker has tallied four goals in seven appearances.

"Watching it from outside it's different. You only watch games every weekend and see how skilful he is. But I train with this guy every day, you understand?" Ighalo told United's official website.

"Every blessed day I train with him, and it's incredible what he does in training, do you understand? He does it so easy, you know?

"Sometimes in games it’s difficult to do it, sometimes you face a tougher opponent but this is someone who every day you see in training and say wow, he's a good player."

Fernandes has been consistently brilliant since moving from Sporting Lisbon in January and Ighalo is tipping the midfielder to take the Premier League by storm.

"He is intelligent, he has foresight, he has vision. He sees what he wants to do with the ball before it comes to him."

"You can see the understanding between him and Martial, you can see the understanding between me and him, so he’s a very good player. And he’s not even settled down yet!

"He comes from a very different place to the Premier League. When that guy has settled down, he’s going to take the Premier League by storm," concluded Ighalo.
