Nigerian striker, Odion Ighalo, got on the scoresheet twice as Manchester United beat Derby County in the fifth round of the FA Cup.

Luke Shaw scored his second-ever goal for United in the 33rd minute to put Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men in the driving seat.

Ighalo made it 2-0 in the 41st minute to ensure the Red Devils end the first half ahead against Derby.

The Nigerian dashed the hopes of the home team when he completed his brace in the 70th minute, sealing United's qualification.

United legend, Wayne Rooney played 90minutes for Derby but didn't pose much threat to his former side, although he forced Romero to two saves from two well-taken freekicks.

Manchester United will now face fellow PL side, Norwich City, in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup.
