Man Utd v Watford: United striker Odion Ighalo set for appearance against former club

Forward Odion Ighalo could make a rare appearance for Manchester United when they face his former club Watford in the FA Cup third round on Saturday.

Ighalo, 31, has played just four times this season but is in the squad for the game at Old Trafford (20:00 GMT).

On-loan James Garner will be ineligible for Watford against his parent club.

However, ex-United defender Craig Cathcart and forward Joao Pedro are back in training with the Championship side after hamstring injuries.

Domingos Quina, Isaac Success and Stipe Perica are not available as they step up their own return from hamstring issues, while Christian Kabasele looks set to miss a third match with a knee problem.
