Ighalo deserves Manchester United prize after long years of sacrifices – agent

Odion Ighalo’s agent believes the striker’s move to Manchester United is a prize for his long years of sacrifice in Europe.

Ighalo debuted in Europe in 2007 after joining Norwegian club Lyn Oslo, having played for Prime and Julius Berger in the Nigerian league.
