Odion Ighalo has dedicated his first goal for Manchester United to his late sister, Mary Atole.

Ighalo scored on his first start for the club on Thursday in the second leg Europa League tie against Club Brugge at Old Trafford.

The 30-year-old put the ball in the back of the net in the 34th minute after a cut-back from Juan Mata.

During his celebration, Ighalo raised his jersey to reveal a tribute to his sister who died on December 12, 2019, at age 42.

The deadline day transfer signing had dedicated his Nike boots to her.
