Africa Press-Nigeria:<\/p>\n

Odion Ighalo is playing on borrowed time after Manchester United was able to secure a loan deal extension with Shanghai Shenhua. The deal does not include a buy option, meaning the Nigerian striker will only be at Old Trafford until January 2021. Regardless, it appears that is not bothering the 31-year-old football player who now finds himself taking on a new role with the Red Devils.<\/p>\n

With Anthony Martial and Marcus Rashford, Ighalo’s role has changed a bit. He is no longer the prime option on offensive attacks and is now tasked to support both players. The Nigerian has no qualms about it, knowing that he needs to be at the right place at the right time. Hence, the main thing he needs to do is to just keep on running alongside Martial and Rashford. He will get his opportunity and he seems pretty fine with the setup.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you can\u2019t touch the ball or you can\u2019t do anything with the ball, you have to unsettle the defenders so your other teammates can move and do something with the ball. It\u2019s what I was trying to do in the first half against Norwich when I wasn\u2019t getting too many balls,\u201d Ighalo told United Review.<\/p>\n

Though he is on loan, Ighalo is no stranger to Premier League play. He has the experience to show, having previously played for Watford. According to the report, Ighalo believes he is stronger now and has improved a lot for his part while wearing the Manchester United uniform.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
