March Player of the Month:

But I think Odion Ighalo has a greater claim to the prize than all three.

In a truncated month where, admittedly, United only played four games, the Nigerian was our leading goalscorer, notching three times in his two starts, against Derby County in the Emirates FA Cup and LASK in the Europa League.

There were also brief but bountiful cameo appearances at Goodison Park and in the Manchester derby, as the on-loan striker started to edge himself towards that special category of ‘cult fan favourites’ Old Trafford revellers hold so dear. Think Diego Forlan, Henrik Larsson and Mark Robins.
