Ighalo Set For His Second Individual Accolade With Manchester United

Manchester United star Odion Ighalo is in line to scoop his second individual accolade since his arrival at Old Trafford.

The Ex-Nigeria international’s strike against Norwich City has been nominated for United Goal of the Month award for June.

Against Norwich, the 31-year-old forward was handed his 12th appearance and scored a sublime goal to help the Old Trafford outfit secure a place in the semi-final of the FA Cup.

Ighalo opened the scoring in the encounter when he volleyed home from close range, leaving goalkeeper Tim Krul with no chance.

The strike is Ighalo’s fifth goal since teaming up with the Red Devils and has now been shortlisted for the best goal award in the month under review.

The former Nigeria international will compete with Anthony Martial, Harry Maguire, Bruno Fernandes, who beat him to the Player of the Month prize in March, and Mason Greenwood for a chance to scoop the award for the second time.

Ighalo won the accolade in March when his brilliant strike against LASK in a Europa League game was adjudged the best effort in the month.
