Odion Ighalo admits he is 'so happy' he was able to represent Manchester United but revealed he left his dream club due to a lack of game time.
The 31-year-old joined the Old Trafford club from Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua in January last year on an initial six-month loan.
The former Watford striker's loan deal was then extended in June 2020 until January this year, when he left for Saudi Arabian side Al-Shabab after scoring five goals in 23 appearances for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men.
Now speaking to Sky Sports, Ighalo revealed he continues to love the club he supported as a boy 'with all my heart' but desired more of a role than his peripheral status at United.
