Manchester United star Ighalo matches personal record in Derby County FA Cup victory

Odion Ighalo matched his personal best for an English club with his brace in Manchester United’s 3-0 victory over Derby County in Thursday’s FA Cup fifth-round tie.

Ighalo teamed up with the Red Devils from Chinese Super side Shanghai Shenhua on loan in January and has been in sparkling form.

The former Super Eagles star was handed his second start and made the most of the opportunity, scoring just before the half-time break to double United’s lead.

The effort was his second goal in his second start for Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s men, after opening his account in the Europa League game against Club Brugge last month.
