Man Utd striker Ighalo: Fernandes and I played together at Udinese

Odion Ighalo is delighted to be reunited with Bruno Fernandes at Manchester United.

The pair played together in the past in Italy with Udinese.

Ighalo told BBC Sport: "It's not my first time playing with Bruno. I played with him at Udinese back in 2010.

"He's a great player. He has vision. He's the guy who wants the ball because he can do something fantastic with it if you give him space. He's a good passer of the ball and he's what this team needs to score goals.

"You're still going to see more and better from him because he is still getting used to the Premier League. When he's finally settled Bruno Fernandes is going to do well in this team.

"Before I came here I knew Manchester United were looking at him and I was hoping they would get him because he is a good player and I knew he was going to change the dynamic of the team.

"He's not going to have the best game every time but what he is going to bring to the team is going to be unbelievable."
