MAN UTD new boy Odion Ighalo could face a reunion with his former club as Watford visit Old Trafford.
The Nigerian spent two and a half years with the Hornets before moving to China and will hope for a first Red Devils start against the Hertfordshire club.
But Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be most concerned with getting a better performance from his side than that seen at Vicarage Road in December when Watford ran out 2-0 winners.

Team news
Scott McTominay could be available for Man Utd after a two-month lay-off.
But he may not be risked from the start with Nemanja Matic continuing to show impressive form.
Solskjaer said: Im not surprised [hes back so soon] because thats the type he is.
Hes a physical specimen, hes a leader. He never shirks a tackle and he brings everyone with him.
“He can sit with Nemanja [Matic] and Fred or he could be one of the runners in midfield.
Talking about that here today, we dont really make enough runs past the striker. Scott used to be a striker so hes used to being in the box.
Solskjaer added that Odion Ighalo’s position in the team could depend on how Mason Greenwood is feeling after missing the trip to Brugge through illness, and whether Anthony Martial has recuperated after starting that match.
He commented: Everyone says that [players raise their game] against their old team when they score, but there are also many games when you dont score.
Odion is getting more and more minutes, but [whether he starts] depends on Mason as well of course, and how Anthony [Martial] is [after playing on Thursday].
Visitors Watford will have not one, but two key men back for the trip to Old Trafford.
Record signing Ismaila Sarr, who scored the opener when the sides met at Vicarage Road, is back from a hamstring injury.
And Kiko Femenia will be expected to slot in at right-back after stand-in Adrian Mariappa scored an own goal in the 1-1 draw at Brighton.
