“From 11pm there was paperwork, negotiating and all that, for the loan deal and all that, so we are talking and other teams are calling them, wanting me,” he explained.
“But I told my agent that this is what I want. I want to come here. He said you’re going to get a pay cut to go to United. I said I don’t care. Make this deal happen. I want to go to United. I don’t care how much the pay cut is, I know that, make it happen.
“People that know me, even back in Nigeria, and even when I was playing at Watford, my team-mates knew that I loved Manchester United, I supported them. When I played against Man U, that emotion is there, because it is my dream.”
Those are the words of Manchester United forward Odion Ighalo who has spoken of his joy following the confirmation that he would be joining the Red Devils – a club he supported as a boy.
