Manchester United Coach Solskjaer Seemingly Praises Partizan's Nigerian Striker Sadiq

Published: October 24, 2019

Manchester United coach Ole Gunnar Solskaer has apparently praised ex-Nigeria U23 star Umar Sadiq ahead of his side's meeting with Partizan Belgrade in the Europa League on Thursday evening.

The Roma loanee has had his best start to a season, scoring 8 goals in 17 games across all competitions while providing three assists.

Sadiq is Parizan's first-choice striker and has started all their eight matches in the Europa League, including the qualifying rounds.

Speaking in his pre-match press conference, Solskjaer told reporters : ''We’ve seen the team and prepared our team against them.

"They’re a team with some pace, a big, strong striker and there’s some talent in there - two or three really talented players".

Sadiq is enjoying a new lease of life in Serbia after struggling at British club Rangers in the first half of last season.
