Manchester United’s decision to bring Odion Ighalo to the club might have raised concerns but the Nigerian striker could become the next Eric Cantona at the club, according to Mark Bosnich.
Mark believes his experience could shock some people the way Cantona did during his time at the club.
According to Bosnich, the top four is very much possible with Ighalo and the loanee has nothing to lose at his new club.
He added that the signing became necessary immediately Rashford got injured.
His words, “This was an emergency signing.
“I can understand a lot of people taking about a scatter gun approach, well it had to be with Marcus Rashford being out.
“The top four is still possible for Manchester United, they had to go and get somebody.
“The boy that’s come in has got nothing to lose, nobody expects anything unbelievable from him but they definitely needed somebody in that position.
“You never know. A long, long time ago Manchester United signed a certain Frenchman (Cantona) who no one really expected much from and he ended up propelling them to one of their most successful seasons of all time.”
On if the team can secure UCL, “I think they can, there’s no doubt about that.
“Six points at this stage of the season for me is still nothing.
“The big question of them not scoring goals is the way that they’re playing.
“People would have a lot more confidence if they had been watching performances and saying okay this team is actually going somewhere.
“I do believe that they are. Whether or not they’ll be able creep into that top four at the end of the season is a different question entirely.
“There’s a still a chance, regardless of what anyone says they’re still in the mix.”
