Man Utd striker Ighalo reveals Solskjaer demands: Do more!

Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo has lifted the lid on the coaching of manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Ighalo joined United in January on-loan from Shanghai Shenhua.

He told MUTV: "When I moved to United, I learned a few things from him.

"During games… there was even a game I scored in, and he said 'You should have scored more if you do this or do that'.

“I thought about it and I know if I would have done what Ole said, I would have scored more. He says: 'You're a striker, take the chance'. So I've learnt a lot from him, in terms of positioning and how to do one or two things in a game.

“As a striker, it's good when a striker is coaching you," Ighalo added. “And, as a striker, you benefit even more than the defenders. He is someone who has scored goals for a long time and has done a lot for United, so it's good to learn from him."
