The 30-year-old became the first Nigerian to play for the Red Devils in the English top-flight on Monday night
Odion Ighalo nearly scored a goal after coming off the bench to make his Manchester United debut in their 2-0 win over Chelsea on Monday.
Ighalo was introduced as a 91st-minute substitute for Anthony Martial to make his first appearance for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side after returning to England on transfer deadline day in January.
Minutes after his introduction, the former Watford attacker had a chance to stretch Manchester United’s lead but his effort was saved by Willy Caballero.
Aside from his historic appearance, Ighalo’s contribution got fans on Twitter raving and they wish he had buried his strike into the back of the net.
Several reactions are trailing last night’s historic appearance.
