The Nigerian has offered an insight into his upbringing as a Red Devils fan while naming Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke as his idols
Odion Ighalo claims he "never imagined" that his childhood dream of playing for Manchester United would ever come true, despite the fact he has followed the club religiously throughout his professional career.
United snapped Ighalo up on a six-month loan deal from Shanghai Shenhua on deadline day in January, in a move which raised more than a few eyebrows across English football.
The Nigerian had spent the last three years of his career in China, with his only previous experience of the Premier League coming at Watford between 2014 and 2017.
