More praises have come the way of former Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo as he was described by ex-Manchester United defender Derek Brazil as a great handler if the ball.
It would be recalled that the former Irish international Brazil played for the Red Devils from 1988 to 1992.
Ighalo has impressed since arriving from Chinese Super League club Shanghai Greenland Shenhua.

In an interview with Love Sport Radio, Brazil noted that Ighalo was proving people wrong.
“The games that he’s started in, the games that he ’s come on in, he is a centre – forward, out -and -out centre forward,” Brazil told Love Sports Radi.
“When a new player comes to United, especially one who ’s had a few doubts about him like Ighalo, the bits that he came on in the games, he held the ball up well, he brings people into play, and he always wants to get in the six-yard box.
“Martial is different. As a centre – half I ’d prefer to play against someone like Martial because you know that if you do give them a little wack from behind, then he’ s not going to try and recover that ball.
“Ighalo for me is proving people wrong. And he took his goal – I know it was only Derby but it was two good finishes.
“If you’ve just got Martial up there, and you want him to hold the ball up so that the runners can get to him, you know he doesn’t ’t do- he ’ll probably do it six times out of 10.
“ But with Ighalo, from what I ’ve seen, his percentage is more than that.
You’ re talking eight, nine times out of 10, he’ll keep it. ”
Ighalo has scored three goals in seven games for Manchester United
