Success Targets Man United Scalp

By Augustine Akhilomen

With few matches on his belt, Nigeria’s Isaac Success will be hoping to bring Old Trafford down with goals as Watford visit Manchester United in Saturday’s Premier League clash.

The former Granada striker who has seen his playing time in the colours of the Hornets reduced due to injury, played a cameo role as he came in for new arrival, Mbaye Niang in the 81st minute in the team’s 2-1 win over Burnley last weekend.

With the departure of fellow Nigerian, Odion Ighalo to China during the Winter Transfer, the 21-year old star knows that he needs to impress his manager, Walter Mazzarri, who could be counting on him to shootdown a Man United side that will be searching for the maximum points in a bid to close the gap on their EPL rivals.

Red Devils manager, Jose Mourinho won’t want to take anything for granted considering the fact that the Hornets pulled one of the biggest upset by beating Arsenal 2-1 at the Emirates Stadium a fortnight ago.
