He will be worse than Manucho or that bloke Diouf.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
By Cantonese, I'm referring of course, to the most well-known speakers, aka Hong Kongers. If you want me to call them Hong Kongers for clarity, I can.
For reference:
Ah, Huffington Post. Ok.
People are very quick to write off the supply to the forwards, but there's been countless times over the season where I've noticed an empty space in the box where a half decent poacher would be. It's not a great signing, but it will be interesting for sure.
How many goals do you think he’ll score by the end of the season?
Excluding penalties I’m going for 2.

Yep, just goal hang, he will get 5+ I reckon just from hanging about.
Feck me, how people don't get this is beyond me We literally never give the CBs anything to worry about and when Rashford has broke his neck to get into the box, he's usually scored.
If Dan James can get back to banging crosses across the six yard box Ighalo will feast
Oh ffs, you prefer Washington Post ? Or BBC ? CNN ? NYT ? Or you don't like left wing sources? Here's a right wing one: Breitbart . Stop being a stubborn contrarian.
Given he is a United fan I'd be hoping that the effort, passion and appreciation he shows for the badge echoes throughout the rest of the squad and reminds other players what an honour it is to represent this club!
Throw up the Euromillions numbers for the next draw when you get a chance.
May he surprise us all.
This. I feel like I'm bashing Martial all the time but we don't get this from him imo.
as a SUPPORTER I'm getting behind Ighalo - no one is expecting miracles but his presence means we can rotate exhausted looking players like James, out of form players like Martial and not rely on a kid like Greenwood
Think he is living the dream and will give everything - if he scored 5/6 goals that would be a real success

I think he will, in a positive way. Martial isn't on form and I think Ighalo will do a better job compared to him.
About 2 to 4 I reckon.
I’m going for 10 just for shits and giggles, can’t put my finger on why but I’ve got a weirdly good feeling about him.
If he gets us into the top 4 then people will look back and say what a masterstroke. I think he will show Martial a thing or two about leading the line and making chances for yourself.
Theyy do realise we've signed him essentially to be a live body, not to be making a full,lasting impact at the club?
He'll be here for a few months, maybe make 10-15 appearances across all competitions, give Martial and Greenwood some respite, then be gone.
I do wish him the bestand will support him but he isn't here to make a United career.
Best of luck Champ . I hope he turns out to be an amazing signing that we all think "bloody hell didnt see that coming" , love to see Bruno and him link up to score loads of goals .
And yet his former club, Chelsea couldn't get one striker in that very same window despite going to court to get it's transfer ban lifted.
I am guessing it means that Chelsea is non existent in world football then?
People are making such stupid assessment about a loanee.
Nobody asked because it doesn't generate clicks.
I hope he uses this as extra motivation to make them eat their words, tired of hearing all this negative spin on things about United now.
Not exactly sure why, but I have a hunch he is going to be a really good signing until the end of the season.
Wonder if we’ll have a thread later on in the season with people debating whether or not we sign him on a permanent basis.

No he won't and I don't understand how you can compare him to those players. Ighalo actually played at a decent level in the PL.
Sky has become such a joke. No longer providing reliable journalism, just sound bites from ex players like this numpty. Doing whatever they can to generate clicks.
Sky are just desperate for attention, I don't know why anyone bites.
I think he will score between 5 to 9 goals and become a cult hero. There will be pressure to turn his deal to permanent. Which the board will succumb to. All plans to get a top striker will be abandoned. He will then have a massive goal drought and we will be begging the board to get a new striker in January.
Id play him as the CF he cant do any worse than Martial. Im going to say he will get 8 goals
I can see this too. I think he will score goals and if that's the case we might try to sign him - which is good. But it should not be at the cost of signing another striker too. Honestly we could do with two.
This is the kind of shitty signing a club of the stature of Barcelona would try to make.
Injured within first few games obviously.
They had this article “trending” on the bottom of their screen this evening . They’re pathetic lately. I need to start avoiding that channel.
I watched a new YouTube interview with this guy Ighalo and he was asked where he had played before. The moment he mentioned NORWAY I was like “oh no way Ole, honestly, ha,ha.. Just like Oghalo’s countryman Mame Birouf Diouf (spelling not correct). Does this Oghala
have some financial interest with Ole’s agent Solbakken or what and why is Ole always trying to bring here more Norwegian friends and/or former players from Cardiff i.e. Joshua King, Haaland (do not want and we can’t get him anyway). These are HIS players clearly from before or in his shopping league. Sorry to say this guys but my beloved club is in a sorry state
