Unemployed Nigeria-eligible player scores crucial goal against Manchester United

Out of contract Moses Odubajo might just have gotten himself a job after scoring the third goal in QPR’s thumping of Manchester United.

Odubajo scored the second of three quickfire goals, which happened in the space of six minutes. After a fast goal from Jesse Lingard, The Red Devils were pegged back in the seventh minute by Charlie Austin’s goal.

At the beginning of the second half, the Red Devils went in search of more goals, but as they went for more, they opened themselves to exploitation which the Hoops took full advantage of with Odubajo scoring in the 58th Minute.

A late surge from United wasn’t enough to displace QPR. Asides from the goal, It was a great one for Odubajo because he has been without a club after his contract at Sheffield United expired.

The Nigeria-eligible has been training with QPR since the turn of June, hoping to impress the club’s hierarchy, and he did it in grand style.

And According to reports from west London sport, the 27-year-old will be handed a contract soon.
