Odion Ighalo believes Manchester United will be a different team with Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes
On-loan striker Odion Ighalo believes that Manchester United will be a different team with Bruno Fernandes and Paul Pogba in the midfield. Paul Pogba has been out of action with a recurring ankle injury and has only featured six times this season. Odion Ighalo is yet to feature alongside Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford as both are nursing long-term injuries. Ighalo believes once Bruno Fernandes, Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba are back on the pitch together, Manchester United will be great again and will win games week in week out.
