O. Ighalo: "I tried not to miss any 'United' matches" © JumpStory

In January, "Manchester United" invited forward Odion Ighalo to join their ranks on loan basis from China, who was supposed to replace the injured Marcus Rashford. Although not much was expected from the Nigerian, he managed to score four goals in three matches when he appeared in the starting lineup and became an important rotational player. The player himself did not hide that he supported "Man Utd" since childhood and dreamed of playing for this club, but admitted that he did not expect this dream to come true. "When I talked about playing for 'Man Utd' as a child, people thought I was crazy. Of course, at first I just wanted to go abroad to play, no matter in which club. But I always supported the team. I tried not to miss any 'United' game. I still remember many great moments. I really didn't think everything would turn out exactly like this. Even when I played for 'Watford', I didn't believe that I could end up in Manchester," - said O. Ighalo in an interview with "beIN Sports".
