Man Utd duo Ighalo, Bailly join forces to campaign against Covid-19

Manchester United forward Odion Ighalo and center-back Eric Bailly have assured fans across the world the coronavirus pandemic will be defeated.

The outbreak of Covid-19 has seen various European competitions suspended including the Premier League, the Champions League and Europa League.

After having the weekend off due to the suspension of football leagues across England, Manchester United players were expected to resume training on Tuesday but the club was forced to cancel their resumption following government’s advice that people should stay at home.

While no player or official has shown symptoms of coronavirus at Manchester United, Ighalo and Bailly urged fans on social media to stay safe and to remain indoors.

Bailly and Ighalo were both impressive in Manchester United’s last outing in the Europa League before the suspension of their games.
