Nigerian forward registers his second and third goal for United against Derby. FMTNews ManchesterUnited FACup
DERBY: Odion Ighalo ruined Wayne Rooney’s hopes of leading Derby to an FA Cup upset against Manchester United as the Nigeria striker’s double sealed a 3-0 win in the fifth round on Thursday.
Ighalo has only been at United for a few weeks after arriving from China, but his second and third goals for the club stole the spotlight from Old Trafford icon Rooney. Rooney left United in 2017 after 13 glittering years including five Premier League titles, Champions League glory and a club record 253 goals.
“Everyone loves Wayne, all the supporters at Manchester United appreciate what he did. He played well. He shows class,” Solskjaer said. It was a Derby player 16 years younger than Rooney who almost gave the hosts a shock lead when Louis Sibley fired just wide from long-range.
