Ighalo’s fourth goal in a Manchester United shirt was his best yet, with the Nigerian scoring an absolute back-breaking goal to put his side up.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer can rest assured his side will be in the quarter-finals provided UEFA choose to keep the competition alive.

Coronavirus fears could curtail this season’s tournament and was also the reason United played in an empty stadium.

Odion Ighalo smashed home the opener with a blistering strike that came off the underside of the bar.

Dan James ended his goal drought with the second before Juan Mata made it 3-0 thanks to a lovely ball from Fred.

Bruno Fernandes was again a star and came off with 20 minutes to go, but his performance was full of flicks, tricks and star quality.

Mason Greenwood, a late introduction, scored number four before a speculative effort from Andreas Pereira capped a stellar night.
