Former Super Eagles striker Odion Jude Ighalo share a story line when he visited Old Trafford back in 2013 as Manchester United fan and now when the 30-year-old was transfer on loan from Chinese club Shanghai Greenland Shenhua to Manchester United and officially welcome to Old Trafford as a player.
Manchester United assigned jersey number 25 to the 30-year-old Nigerian professional footballer, and he become 7th Africa player to have played for United.
According to him Ighalo as he taken to Twitter to thank God for what he has done in his life.
“My visit to Old Trafford back in 2013 as fan and now I will be playing in Old Trafford😊 God is the greatest 🙏🏾”
This is a greatest surprise as the 30-year-old announced retirement from international football after the conclusion of Africa Cup of Nations 2019 hosted by Egypt.
Ighalo was part of Nigeria Super Eagle squad in 2019 AFCON were they lost to Algeria in semi-finals and beat South Africa in third place in the tournament
Super Eagles manage Gernot Rohr was surprise, when everyone think is over for Odion Ighalo but God elevate him and he set to begin new change in the one of the biggest club i n the world.
Will Rohr call Ighalo back to Super Eagles team or will he just let him go like that, Igahlo was the highest goal scorer in AFCON 2019 in Egypt now as World Cup and AFCON qualifiers series fully started, I think we can afford to lose him.
