Ighalo picks better player between Van Nistelrooy, Persie
April 15, 2020
Manchester United striker, Odion Ighalo, has chosen who is a better player between former Red Devils stars, Ruud van Nistelrooy and Robin van Persie.



Ighalo, who won Man United’s March Goal-of-the-Month Award, said he would instead prefer to partner with Van Nistelrooy than Van Persie.

According to the 30-year-old, Van Nistelrooy was a goalscorer and a positional striker like him that could run between defenders with space.



When asked who he would pick between Van Nistelrooy and Van Persie, Ighalo told Periscope live with Juliet Bawuah: “I would gladly pick Van Nistelrooy.

“Van Nistelrooy is a goalscorer. He does not show skills, and he does not try to dribble and all that.



“He is a position striker, like me.

“A striker who can run between defenders and have space.



“That is the kind of striker I learn from. Don’t get me wrong. Van Persie is a good player.”

Van Nistelrooy joined Manchester United from PSV Eindhoven in 2001.



The 43-year-old went on to score 150 goals in his five seasons at Old Trafford, where he won one Premier League title and an FA Cup.

Coronavirus: Arsenal players reject pay cut

Coronavirus: Arsenal players reject pay cut April 15, 2020 Arsenal players have turned down the club’s latest proposal to slash their wages during the ongoing coronavirus crisis, Goal reports. There have been in talks with senior officials over the last fortnight to reach an agreement. Several options have been discussed, but so far none have been met with enough approval to be put into action. Over the weekend, the idea of a 12.5% wage cut was put forward, with Arsenal trying to lessen the financial blow the club might suffer if the season is completed or finished behind closed doors. There were clauses included in the offer, including paying players in full if they qualify for the Champions League. It was, however, met with scepticism by the players, with the Gunners currently in ninth place. Had that offer been accepted, it would have seen Arsenal cut around £25 million ($31m) from their annual £230 m ($286m) wage bill.
