Europa League: Ighalo prepares with United stars for Club Brugge clash
Nigeria’s Odion Ighalo alongside January arrival Bruno Fernandes were in good spirits as they joined Manchester United team-mates for a training session ahead of their Europa League second leg clash against Club Brugge.
At the last count, Ighalo has made a number of cameos from the bench but appears to be enjoying life at Carrington, United’s state-of-the-art training complex.
The 30-year-old, who arrived on loan for the rest of the season from Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua, has made three substitute appearances – most recently against Club Brugge in the first leg.
On the other hand, Fernandes has settled in quickly at his new club after arriving from Sporting Lisbon in a £46.5million deal.
The 24-year-old was all smiles as he joked with midfield team-mate Fred, looking as comfortable in training as he has in his handful of appearances since joining United.

He also registered an assist in the 2-0 win against top-four rivals Chelsea the week before, showing his instant impact since his January switch.
