Watch: Ighalo receives phone call from his Manchester United hero Andy Cole

During a session with the club's media, Manchester United forward Odion Ighalo was surprised to receive a call from legend Andy Cole.

After joining the Red Devils on a six-month loan from Shanghai Shenhua in January, Ighalo revealed that the former English striker was one of the players he watched when growing up.

The 30-year-old striker is gradually finding his feet in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team, and scored a goal in his first start in the Uefa Europa League last Thursday.

Ighalo was just beaming during the conversation while answering Cole's questions.
