Sodiq OyelekeOdion Ighalo will become the first Nigerian player to feature in a football match for Manchester United if he is given a role in tonight’s match against Chelsea. As of 07.25 pm, The PUNCH can report that Ighalo was at Stamford Bridge ahead of the Premier League blockbuster match between the Blues and Reds. In one of his pictures that surfaced online, Ighalo was seen on the pitch putting on a black suit. With Marcus Rashford’s absence, a heavy burden is placed on the deadline-day loan signing Ighalo to score the goals that can haul United up the table. He arrived at Carrington on Sunday morning, chauffeured in, to train with his new teammates for the first time.
