More importantly,the Nigerian will be hoping to score his first goal for Man United this season which incidentally will be his second goal in the competition following his consolation goal in Watford’s 2-1 extra-time loss to Gillingham in August 2016 at the Vicarage Road stadium.
Interestingly,the five goals the Nigerian has scored since he joined the Red Devils on loan from Chinese Super League side,Shanghai Greenland Shenhua have come form cup games viz three in three FA Cup games and two in five Europa League matches.
Ighalo has featured twice for Man United in the competition this term and started both while he has seen just nine minutes of action in the Premier League and one minute in the UEFA Champions League.
