Osun United's €10k gain from Ighalo's Manchester United loan moved into government account

Osun United’s €10,000 gain from Odion Ighalo’s loan to Manchester United has been moved into the account of the state’s Ministry of Youth and Sports, the club media officer Tajudeen Ahmad has explained.

The management of the Nigerian second division club is being probed by the Osun State House of Assembly over the alleged diversion of the financial gain from Ighalo’s return to England.

Being the first professional club the 31-year-old played for in his career, Osun United received €10,000 as their share after his move from China’s Shanghai Shenhua to Old Trafford in January this year.
