'From saving lunch money to crying after defeats' - Ighalo reveals how his love for Manchester United started

The former Super Eagles striker is living his dream at Old Trafford but he recalled how his love for the Red Devils began

Odion Ighalo said he had to save part of his lunch money many years ago to watch Manchester United's games at viewing centres in Nigeria.

The 31-year-old has not hidden his love for the Manchester club since he joined them on loan from Shanghai Shenhua earlier this year, a deal which will see him stay at the club until the end of January 2021.

The Lagos-born forward revealed how his love for Manchester United started from his family and he also described how he managed to watch their weekend games back then.
