As surprising it may sound for some football and non-football fans, two Nigerians graced the game in today's FA Cup clash between The Red Devils & The Canaries of Norwich.

The first and most prominent Nigerian was the Man Utd Centre Forward, Odion Ighalo.

With key players on the bench at the outset of the game, Solskjær gave the player from Shangai Shenhua on loan the opportunity to participate in the game. Ighalo led the team's forward squad with assistance from Jesse Lingard & Bruno Fernandes.

As you may know, he gave a classic poacher's strike at the 51st minute after receiving a pass from Mata, but unfortunately, Todd Cantwell equalized it in the 75th minute.

On the other hand, the second Nigerian on the pitch was Adam Uche Idah fondly known as Adam Idah.

Adam Idah being an Irish-born Nigerian was contrastingly on the bench for the Norwich City side throughout the game. The youngster signed a contract with the professional club on 4th July 2019 which would last till 2023.

Although playing only for The Republic of Ireland's junior national team all his life, Adam Idah still has a chance to play for the Super Eagles. Being just 19 years of age, he hasn't played for any national senior team before, and we hope his options are still open to play football for the African giants.

2... I hope he isn't Adams oshimole's son.... *checks again.... No he isn't



3.... Let him try and play well.. Football isn't a game of eating apples and answering all the wrong questions
