There were skepticism on whether Odion Ighalo could pull it off and turn things around at Manchester United. After two games, he already scored three goals.<\/p>\n
Two of those scored in a 3-0 win against Derby County to book a place in FA Cup quarter-final.<\/p>\n
The 30-year-old performance overshadowed a reunion with United’s all-time leading goalscorer Wayne Rooney at Pride Park.<\/p>\n
“As long as my team-mates believe in me, the boss believes in me and the fans believe in me, I just have to keep going,” Ighalo said.<\/p>\n
“I don’t care what anyone says. We want to keep the momentum going and make sure we do great this season.”<\/p>\n
Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is confident captain Harry Maguire will be fit for Manchester derby\u00a0and says Ighalo could start that game.<\/p>\n
“When you get strikers in you want them to be happy and confident,” Solskjaer said.<\/p>\n
“Ighalo has come in here and of course we still have a few injuries and it is great for us to have Odion to call upon. He is a different striker for us and scores some good goals, there are not many who could dig that one out for his first.”<\/p>\n
“He has done really well so let’s see how we are on Sunday morning.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
