“When I moved to United, I learned a few things from him,” Odion said as part of his MUTV Takeover when he is selecting shows the club's official channel should broadcast on Wednesday.

“During games… there was even a game I scored in, and he said ‘You should have scored more if you do this or do that’.

“I thought about it and I know if I would have done what Ole said, I would have scored more. He says: ‘You’re a striker, take the chance’.

"So I’ve learnt a lot from him, in terms of positioning and how to do one or two things in a game."
