Ighalo Retains His Place As Manchester United Make Changes To Europa League Roster

Published: August 04, 2020

English Premier League club Manchester United have officially announced their updated squad list for the knockout rounds of the Europa League, including the mini knockout tournament holding in Germany.

2019 Africa Cup of Nations Golden Boot winner Odion Ighalo has kept his place in the 30-man squad list.

Two changes have been made by manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with injured duo Luke Shaw and Axel Tuanzebe making way for Teden Mengi and Ethan Laird.

An analysis of the roster revealed that 4 goalkeepers, 10 defenders, 11 midfielders and 5 strikers are part of the group.

Ighalo is competing with Mason Greenwood, Anthony Martial, Marcus Rashford and Tahith Chong for a place in the starting lineup.

The experienced Nigerian frontman has been involved in all the matches played by the Red Devils in the Europa League since his move in the January transfer window, scoring two goals and providing an assist.

Ighalo's stunning effort against LASK on March 12 won Manchester United's Goal of the Month for March 2020.
