'He offers platform to run off' - Ferdinand on why hechanges his mind on Ighalo
Manchester United great Rio Ferdinand has explained why he's changed his mind on January transfer window loan signing Odion Ighalo.
Ferdinand was speaking ahead of United's clash in the FA Cup fifth round at Derby County this evening when he admitted to questioning the move. But now he believes the addition is starting to make more sense.
Ferdinand told BT Sport: "People and myself included were probably thinking Odion Ighalo, where does he fit into all of this?
"If you have an opportunity to sign a player at the beginning of the January window, he is not the guy you are going to sign.
"But what he does bring is a point. A point where they can focus and play into him from the midfield. He offers the platform to run off.
"Marcus Rashford and Anthony Martial want the ball in behind and not to bring people in."
