Manchester United loanee striker, Odion Ighalo seems to be among the few Manchester United person that still believes in the influence of French midfielder Paul Pogba on the team.

“Manchester United is going to be great again, winning games week in, week out. He’s a great player and it’s going to be a privilege to play with him.”
Odion Ighalo is campaigning for the Paul Pogba continuous in Old Trafford despite heavy criticism that he should be off-loaded, whereas his own future in the team hangs on the cloud of uncertainty. Manchester United has not offered any new contract yet and there is no certainty that they will not now that football activities have been suspended due to the outbreak of the novel Covid-19.
Ighalo is the first Nigerian to play for Manchester United, he is at Old Trafford on a 6-month loan and his loan spell will expire on May 31, 2020. He scored 4 times in all competition within a short period of playtime and he was remarkable against LASK in the Europa game.
