Odion Ighalo has discussed his delight at playing for boyhood club Manchester United.

The striker signed for the Red Devils on loan from Shanghai Shenhua in January.

Ighalo told the club's official magazine, Inside United, that he first visited Old Trafford as a fan in 2013, while he was playing for Granada on loan. Three years later, he played at the stadium with Watford:

"Manchester United is a big club. When I saw that, I was amazed. I was outside the stadium, and I took pictures.
