In the words of Odion Ighalo: “When I got the call from my agent that Manchester United wanted me, I couldn’t believe it, I had to call someone to put me in prayers that I’m about to sign for Manchester United”
Odion Ighalo told his agent: ” I don’t care (paycut) just make it happen”
“Never give up”, “keep believing”, “favour over labour”, knit this phrases together like seamstress will knit a piece of clothing materials together, then you will have Odion Ighalo.
Odion Ighalo’s has been terrific for Manchester United since his arrival on loan from Shenghai Shenshua on loan with 4 goals in 8 appearances.
Reports has it that Manchester United are willing to give Odion Ighalo a two years contract extension and Shenghai Shenshua as also offered him a new contract worth 400.000 thousand pounds.
Why should Odion Ighalo reject this contract and stay at Manchester United?
- He’s a proven goal scorer and Ole Gunnar Solksjaer has that already and with Bruno Fernandes playing behind him and the likes of Paul Pogba and Marcus Rashford returning to the team, he will definitely get more goals consistently.
- He will get the chance to win the league , domestic cups and other European trophies because Manchester United will get more quality players to challenge for the time.
- For every of achievements, he will become the the first Nigerian to do so in the colors of Manchester United.
- Money is not Ighalo’s problem, he said it from the onset. Playing for Manchester United is a dream come through so he’s living his dream at the twilight if his career.
- The last time a Nigerian to won the African player of the year was in 1999 when Kanu inNwankwo. Who says Odion Ighalo cannot win it for Nigeria for the first time in 21 years?
When you said money is not Ighalo problem, I tend to disagree with you, even Aliko Dangote who is inarguably the richest person in Africa is still looking for more and bigger money. And the issue of saying Ighalo will win a trophy with Manchester United, I don’t see that happening with these present sets of Man U players. I will just advise him to go back to China and claim his millions of dollars. But what may also be deterring him from returning back may be the fear of the dreaded Coronavirus which emanated from China and is still ravaging major countries of the world.
