Watford of England striker, Isaac Success is thinking big on a personal level ahead of his team’s clash with Manchester United in the English Premier League, as he believes the game will accord him an opportunity of outshining Odion Jude Ighalo, megasportsarena.com reports.
They were both teammates at Watford four years ago, during which time Ighalo was preferred ahead of Isaac, who has since faced torrid time battling series of injuries at Vicarage Road, but he believes this weekend will be his time to shine bright.
As Ighalo prepares to face his former pals, with two substitute appearances under his boots since arriving at Old Trafford on loan from Shanghai Shenhua of China on January transfer deadline day, he is set to face a very fiery compatriot in Success.
This is sequel to reports indicating that the UAE 2013 FIFA U-17 World Cup gold medalist is very desperate to end a 16 month spell without scoring, which he hopes to turn around in Sunday’s away game at Old Trafford, though the 24-year-old Benin City-born star has been largely absent for The Hornets since the start of the season.
However, after scoring for the club’s under-23 team at the start of the week, the product of BJ Foundation of Benin City, who has made five substitute appearances in 26 EPL games so far this season, is eager to replicate the form he showed in a 3-2 loss to Queens Park Rangers.
Sequel to his performance and goal on Monday, Success is hoping to get the nod of Watford’s coach, Nigel Pearson for his first start since March 9, 2019, when he played for 66 minutes in his team’s 3-1 loss at Manchester City.
However, all odds are so daunting against the former Granada of Spain striker, who has been subbed on 43 times in 54 games, started just 11 times, on the bench for all 90 minutes 21 times, has scored only two goals in 1,604 minutes of football and last netted 16 months ago, which was when Watford beat relegated Huddersfield Town at Vicarage Road.
