Former Manchester United loanee Odion Ighalo has been named in the Saudi Pro-League team of the season ahead of Cristiano Ronaldo, who misses out entirely.
The superstar made the switch to Al-Nassr in January upon his acrimonious exit from United in November. Ronaldo netted 14 times in 16 matches, making him the division’s fifth-highest scorer.
But the 38-year-old does not feature in the team of the year with Igahlo included. The striker netted 19 times in 27 outings for Al-Hilal, who finished eight points behind second-place Al-Nassr.
Ighalo scored five times in 23 matches for United during his year-long loan spell from Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua between January 2020 and January 2021.
