Man Utd hero Cole 'really pleased' with Ighalo

Manchester United Treble winner Andy Cole is full of praise for Odion Ighalo.

The on-loan striker, who United signed from Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua on January deadline day, has scored four goals already for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side.

"I am really pleased with him," said Cole.

"When you come to a club like Manchester United as a centre forward, everyone expects you to score straight away, but it takes a little bit of time.

“And like Odion said himself, he wasn't fit and was just coming in from pre-season in China.

“I think he has done pretty well when he has been given the opportunity, he has applied himself really well in the club and has scored four good goals, four centre forward goals, you can't ask for much more."
