Manchester united forward Odion Ighalo has continued to Mount up praises from the footballing world since signing for Manchester United in the Summer. 

Arsenal Legend,Ian Wright has taken time to commend the former super eagles player on his magnificent performance for Arch Rivals Manchester United.

Ian Wright who was part of the Gunners team from 1991-1998 lauded the 30 years forward for proving his doubters wrong and everyone who had made mockery of his signing.

"I’m delighted for him because like you say he could go down as maybe fourth or fifth [choice signing in January],” Ian Wright told Premier League Productions. 



 “The way people ridiculed the signing, like laughing at Man United for signing him, I feel that he will ram that down people’s throats. “It was so last minute but what I was reading was the way they were ridiculing the signing of Ighalo, because they were talking about the poor season he had before he left Watford, then going to China and not knowing exactly what he’s been doing out there, how well it’s him.


 “So when you go for him, somebody that was here nearly four years ago, whatever it was, people are saying ‘Is that where Man United are now?’.

“I was hoping that Ighalo could just come in, get himself fit to a certain level, score the goals like he’s done in Europe and in the FA Cup and then go on to win it in the Premier League. 


“So far my wish has come true in respects of him scoring because when somebody does something like that, the amount of people that are taking encouragement from him being there and doing that, it’s a magnificent thing what’s happening for him. “So you just hope that he can get himself fit, score more goals for Man United in the Premier League so people can see ‘Yes, you can take chances on people like that."


Odion Ighalo has racked up three goals including a brace in Seven appearances for Manchester United across all competitions this season.
