Ighalo gets bench role as Manchester United keep faith in Martial vs Chelsea

Odion Ighalo will start on the bench for Manchester United’s Premier League clash against Chelsea.

The ex-Nigeria international made his way back to the Premier League, having joined the Red Devils from Shanghai Shenhua on a six-month deal.

The move came to reality owing to Marcus Rashford’s back injury which will rule him out for three months.

However, he will make his debut as a substitute should he get playing time against Frank Lampard’s men.

In the process, he will become the first Nigerian player to represent the Red Devils.
