Ryan Giggs and Paul Scholes are both fans of Odion Ighalo and were pleased to see him get an extension to his Manchester United loan deal.
Both club legends believe the former Watford striker offers something ‘different’ to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s other attacking options.
Scholes had admitted he had doubts about Ighalo, but has been proven wrong by the Nigeria international.
‘I was a little bit dubious about the Ighalo one,’ Scholes told MUTV.
‘I wasn’t quite sure how that would work, but you have to say that’s worked as well.
‘He’s a different kind of player from the players we had, a bit more of a target man which we miss and he seems to have settled in really well, scoring goals.’
And Giggs agreed with his former team-mate, believing Ighalo always makes an impact on the game.
‘He is different, he is just a centre-forward whereas the other players can play out wide,’ Giggs told Sky Sports.
‘He gives you something extra. He gives you something off the bench as an impact.
‘Or if he’s starting, centre-forwards always want to score goals and he’s scored goals. He’s scored goals everywhere he’s gone.
‘So it’s positive that 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.’
