Manchester United were ridiculed for signing Odion Ighalo but striker is now proving doubters wrong and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer right after scoring another vital goal against Norwich

When his moment arrived, Odion Ighalo did what he does best. He scored. He twisted his body, kept his eye on the ball as it dropped in front of him and found the back of the net with a flick of his right boot.

It was a spontaneous, spur-of-the-moment finish, the kind all good goal poachers produce every now and then. A little unconventional perhaps and different to his last goal for Manchester United, the stunning volley against LASK Linz in March. But the end result was the same.

Up to that point in the 51st minute at Carrow Road, Ighalo had offered very little.
