Ighalo makes Europa League debut in Manchester United draw against Club Brugge

Odion Ighalo made his debut appearance in the Uefa Europa League as Manchester United settled for a 1-1 draw against Club Brugge.

The 30-year-old replaced Anthony Martial seven minutes after the hour-mark at the Jan Breydelstadion on Thursday.

He featured for 23 minutes but could not break his duck after Anthony Martial cancelled out Emmanuel Dennis' opener in the first-half.

Ighalo joined Manchester United on a six-month loan from Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua in January and played his first game in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team against Chelsea on Monday.
