The former Nigeria international was in a spectacular form as the Red Devils sealed a place in the last eight of the competition
Odion Ighalo matched his personal best for an English club with his brace in Manchester United’s 3-0 victory over Derby County in Thursday’s FA Cup fifth-round tie.
Ighalo teamed up with the Red Devils from Chinese Super side Shanghai Shenhua on loan in January and has been in sparkling form.
The former Super Eagles star was handed his second start and made the most of the opportunity, scoring just before the half-time break to double United’s lead.
The effort was his second goal in his second start for Ole Gunnar Solskjær’s men, after opening his account in the Europa League game against Club Brugge last month.

Ighalo completed his brace in the 70th minute, his first for an English side since scoring twice for Watford against Liverpool in a Premier League game in December 2015.
The former Watford striker has now made six appearances for Manchester United across all competitions since his arrival.
The forward will hope to make his first Premier League start for United in their derby against Manchester City on Sunday.
