Ighalo almost scored against his former club but was denied a dream Old Trafford debut on Sunday
Former Nigeria international, Odion Ighalo, enjoyed another cameo appearance with Manchester United on Sunday as the Red Devils romped to a 3-0 win over Watford in their Premier League tie at Old Trafford.
Ole Gunnar Solksjaer introduced the Nigerian striker into Sunday’s game in the 80th minute having literarily sealed the match points with goals already from Bruno Fernandes from the penalty spot in the first half and then second-half goals from Martial and Mason Greenwood. After a cagey opening exchange, the first half was heading to a barren finish before Fernandes put Man Utd ahead on 42 minutes.
Watford’s Troy Deeney then had a goal overturned by the Video Assistant Referee after Craig Dawson was adjudged to have handled the ball in the build-up.
