@BalthassarG: Today should be declared International Ighalo day, it's not everyday we see a Nigerian in that Red shirt #Ighalo.
@GodwinOdiko : With our many injury worries (especially with Rashford out), I see no reason why having Ighalo on short-term basis isn't ideal.
He (Ighalo) is a dangerous finisher on his day. So let's hope for the best from him.
