Ighalo almost makes his first goal in his second appearance in Manchester United

Manchester United defeated Watford 3-0 on Sunday in their English Premier League clash.

The former Super Eagles striker, Odion Ighalo, missed an opportunity to score his first goal in his new club.

Ighalo who has already made two appearances for the club successfully dribbled the Watford goalkeeper, he almost strike the Red Devil’s forth goal, but his shot was deflected by a Watford defender.

Meanwhile, Bruno Fernandes made the first goal for Manchester United on Sunday as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side climbed to fifth place in the Premier League table with a win of 3-0 against lowly Watford.

Midfielder Fernandes, bought by Solskjaer last month to add creativity and drive to United’s midfield, scored from the penalty spot not long before half-time.

Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood also made a beautiful fire into the net, making it about 11 goals Greenwood has scored in all competitions this season.

Man United have struggled for consistency all season but the winning at Old Trafford lifts them to 41 points, just three behind fourth-placed Chelsea.

While United are looking upwards, Nigel Pearson’s Watford are in deep trouble, just one place off the bottom of the table after taking just two points from their past five games.

A fifth position could be enough to earn a Champions League spot because Manchester City in second position have been banned from Europe’s elite competition for good two seasons, pending an appeal.

United, who defeated top-four rivals Chelsea on Monday, took the lead three minutes before the interval with their first Premier League goal at Old Trafford since January 11.
