Should Odion Ighalo start for Manchester United against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge?

Manchester United take the trip to London to face Chelsea as hostilities ensue at Stamford Bridge.

The Blues would be aiming to consolidate on their league position as they sit 4th on the log six points above Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s Manchester United. This may well present the big quest of who would start for Manchester United against Chelsea.

The Red Devils may be missing the exploits of Marcus Rashford due to injury (back issue) but they’ve got another weapon on to be proud of going into this massive game at the Bridge.

The Nigerian moved to United from Shanghai Shenhua taking a pay cut and here presents the Chelsea match with so many expectations attached to the game. This will prompt the inquiry as to whether the forward will start against Chelsea on Monday Nights.

Tactically, the players should operate from the bench while studying the match with his experience. This would aid his performance in the game while also playing as a joker for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men.

It would be best to allow the young guys to lead the lines for United up front as Anthony Martial and Daniel James (known for his blistering pace) partners with each other.

This could see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer make do of a possible 3-4-1-2 formation as they plan strategically against Frank Lampard’s Chelsea side.

Odion Ighalo would be a good substitute while also reducing the desperation for the forward to perform from the start. This also lowers the pressure and the weight of expectation as he puts on Manchester United’s Redshirt in a game of this magnitude.

All said and done the forward should not start the game against Chelsea but he should feature in this match as the case may be. He’s got the experience and individual quality to make the desired
impact for Manchester United.

He would be exceptional for the club if the manager, his teammate, and the club can help him find his rhythm as he looks forward to his debut against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Monday.
