Ighalo’s inclusion was as a result of his superb performance for United in their 3-0 win at Derby County on Thursday.
The 30-year-old bagged a brace in his second start since joining United on loan.
He now has three goals in six appearances in all competitions for the Red Devils.
Other notable names on the list are United teammate Juan Mata, Norwich City goalkeeper hero against Tottenham Hotspur Tim Krul and Ross Barkley of Chelsea.
The former Super Eagles striker will hope to replicate his scoring form when United host Manchester City on Sunday.

Just look at what the Edo Osimhen is doing as Eagle’s sole point man, a testament that Nigerians are great people given the right environment to perform. That was even before his brace against Derby, striker Odion Ighalo described scoring his first goal for the club as a “dream come true”, and dedicated the strike to his late sister. This he told Goal.com, as international sport webmedia. Nigeria is an impossible country otherwise odion should have been begged to denounce or rescind his resignation, come back to the national team and score goals. A combination of Odion and Osimhen in any attack will be productive as these two are acid attackers with a knack for goal scoring. I look forward to their next match.
