Odion Ighalo has spoken on how strange it is to train 2 metres away from other players due to the COVID-19 regulations.
Ighalo, who had extended his loan spell until January 2021, said he, sometimes, find it hard to give other players a sign during the game.
“I can’t wait for the league to start again. I’m looking forward to it. I’m getting better and better every day”.
“We are still working every day and we’ve been training together the past two weeks now, so it’s getting close to the game.
“The sharpness is coming, the fitness is coming and everything is going well. It’s been strange, you know because you have to stay two metres apart to talk to your team-mates.
“Sometimes, you need to get close to give them some signs but now it’s two metres and it’s kind of strange.
“But this is what we have to do for us to be safe and for the game to go on. We’re ready to do it and we’re happy to do it.”
He added that he cannot wait to get to action when the English Premier League (EPL) kicks off.
Reflecting on United’s last game before the lockdown, Ighalo reckons the experience of having already played behind closed doors will be an advantage for Solskjaer’s players.
“It was strange, you know, but it’s okay,” Ighalo told MUTV.
