Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo has heaped praise on fellow January arrival Bruno Fernandes and warned the rest of the Premier League: “We’ve not seen the best of him yet!”
United finally got their man after a long pursuit when Fernandes arrived at Old Trafford from Sporting Lisbon midway through the season.
He had made a phenomenal start to life in England prior to the coronavirus shutdown, with three goals and four assists in his first nine appearances.
Ighalo’s loan arrival, by contrast, came almost out of the blue, but he too has had a bright start to his United career and is loving playing with Ferandes.
"Bruno is a fantastic player," said in an interview with journalist Juliet Bawuah on Twitter. "I played with him in 2013-14 at Udinese. We’ve not seen the best of him yet in the Premier League.
"Once Bruno Fernandes settles down in England you will see what that guy can do. He has vision, he wants the ball always. He can shoot, he can score goals, he is very intelligent.
"Before the ball comes, he is a step ahead to know what he wants to do. In times to come you are going to see what he can do in the Premier League, even better than what he is doing now."
