Photos: Ighalo Trains With Man Utd Squad Ahead Of Europa League Debut

The former Nigerian star is getting ready to play in a European club competition for the first time in his career, and he has been training with his new teammates.

Odion Ighalo is in line to make his debut in Europe’s second club competition when Man Utd take on Club Brugge in the Europa League on Thursday night.

The former Watford man was pictured training with his United’s teammates as they prepare to make the trip to Belgium.

Ighalo who joined United from Shanghai Shenhua made his debut for the team in the win over Chelsea on Monday night.

He came on as a late substitute in the win at Stamford Bridge, but he is expected to lead the line against Blauw-Zwart on Thursday.

The 30-year-old was in high spirits at United’s training ground despite the cold weather. He was also pictured as United departed for Bruges.

Should he feature for United at the Jan Breydel Stadium, Ighalo will likely go up against Emmanuel Dennis who is expected to lead Club Brugge’s attack.
