Nigerian forward, Odion Ighalo has made history by scoring his first goal for Manchester United.
Ighalo scored his side’s second goal of the game as Manchester United eased to a comfortable 5-0 win over the Belgian side in the second leg of their last-32 tie.
This win is expected to silence all the criticism that the club has gathered from signing Ighalo and he has also admitted to feeling some pressure since his arrival at Old Trafford.

“It is a great moment,” Ighalo told BT sports after the match. “I have been waiting for this, played three games, though I didn’t play much and no goals.
He added: “A little bit of pressure, but now I got a goal to start my Manchester United goal career and it is a team I have supported since I was young, so it is very good.
“I am very happy and I am grateful to God.”
