Some Tottenham Hotspur fans have taken to Twitter to give their reaction to the performance of Odion Ighalo for Manchester United against Derby County.

Ighalo was in action for United in their FA Cup fifth-round tie against Championship club Derby away from home at the Pride Park Stadium on Thursday evening.

The 30-year-old Nigerian striker scored in the 41st minute and then on 70 minutes to help the Red Devils to a 3-0 win.

Ighalo joined United on loan from Chinese side Shanghai Greenland Shenhua in the January transfer window until the end of the season.

The former Watford striker has scored one goal in two Europa League games for the Red Devils and has played 59 minutes in the Premier League, according to WhoScored.

Tottenham were interested in signing Ighalo in January, according to Sky Sports (Transfer Live blog, 11:05pm, Friday, January 31, 2020) (click here to read more).

With Harry Kane and Son Heung-min injured at the moment and Troy Parrott very inexperienced, Spurs could have done with a striker such as Ighalo, as some Tottenham fans have pointed out on Twitter below.
