Photo: Ighalo Sporting A Smile And Gives Solskjaer A Pat After Man Utd Win Vs The Eagles

Published: July 17, 2020

Manchester United took their unbeaten run to nineteen matches in all competitions following their 2-0 victory against Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park (London) on Thursday night, their best run since legendary coach Alex Ferguson retired, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.

With a trip to Leicester City still to come on the final day of the 2019-2020 season, The Red Devils' Champions League destiny is in their own hands.

Marcus Rashford in the first half and Anthony Martial in the second scored to secure a win for Manchester United.

For the second consecutive game, former Nigeria international Odion Ighalo watched proceedings from the bench.

But the Shanghai Shenhua loanee has no bad feelings over his lack of game time in recent matches as television images clearly showed the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations top scorer wearing a big smile after the game as he was delighted that United returned to winning ways after settling for a 2-2 vs Southampton in their penultimate match.

Ighalo and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær patted each other as the players made their way to the dressing room.

The 31-year-old Nigerian is expected to play a part when United face Chelsea in the semifinals of the FA Cup on Sunday, July 19.
