Odion Ighalo has tipped Manchester United teammate Bruno Fernandes to build on his impressive start to life at Old Trafford.

Since leaving Sporting Lisbon for United in January, Fernandes has contributed three goals and four assists from nine appearances in all competitions.

However, despite the playmaker's excellent form, Ighalo has predicted that the Portugal international will continue to improve during his time at the club.

Speaking to BBC Sport, Ighalo said: "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."

Ighalo is also making a positive impact at United, netting four times in three starts and five substitute outings.
