Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo is eagerly anticipating facing Wayne Rooney in the FA Cup on Thursday.
The Red Devils play Derby County at Pride Park for a place in the quarter-final of the competition.
Ighalo was full of praise for United's all-time record goalscorer:
"Wayne Rooney is always an idol, like many players at United.
"He's a good guy. He is a fighter on the pitch, he fights until the end, from the start until the finish. He's somebody I've seen that never gives up in the game, and he's a good goalscorer.
