What makes Ighalo stand out at United, Ryan Giggs reveals

Ryan Giggs, Manchester United legend has revealed what makes Nigerian international Odion Ighalo stand out at Old Trafford.

Recall United reached an agreement with Shanghai to keep Ighalo until the end of January 2020 after the expiration of his previous loan contract on the 31st of May.

Giggs who is now the manager of Wales' national team said that he has been impressed with Ighalo's impact since his arrival.

He believes the Nigerian has a vital role to play in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's squad.

"He's different, he's just a centre-forward," Giggs told Sky Sports.

"The other players can play out wide, he gives you something extra. He makes an impact, whether it's off the bench or starting. Centre-forwards always want to score goals and he has scored goals everywhere he has gone.

"It's positive he's able to stay because he's done well. He's scored goals and made an impact whenever he's been on the pitch."
