Manchester United stormed to victory on Sunday afternoon, not only bolstering their chances of making the Champions League next season but also earning their first derby double over their arch-rivals, Manchester City.
Anthony Martial opened the scoring in the first half by meeting Bruno Fernandes’ deft chip from a free-kick before Scott McTominay capitalised on a massive Ederson blunder to fire home the winner in injury time to seal all three points.
It keeps the Red Devils within touching distance of Chelsea in fourth place, and fans were left raving about the impact of Odion Ighalo after his second-half cameo role.
Here’s what has been said…
Ighalo was described as “absolute class” and “excellent” while one supporter claimed he had been “different gravy” and “brilliant” since joining the club on loan in January.
It was the 30-year-old’s seventh appearance for the Red Devils, where he has already contributed three goals but he is yet to find the net in the Premier League, per Transfermarkt.

Some fans would like to see the Nigerian kept at the club past his current spell, brandishing him as “priceless” while a further member of the Old Trafford faithful couldn’t think of the last time they had a forward that held up the ball as well as him.
Another believed it would be a “no-brainer” while he was also labelled as a “beast”.
There were even comparisons made to United players past and present – one suggested Ighalo was far better than Martial will ever be with another adding that he was “infinitely” better than Romelu Lukaku.
