Odion Ighalo's goodbye message to Manchester United


The striker's loan spell at Manchester United from Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua expires at the end of this month.

Odion Ighalo has penned an emotional Manchester United farewell message as his time at Old Trafford comes to an end.

The 31-year-old striker's loan from Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua expires at the end of this month.

The Nigeria international joined United in January last year on an initial six-month deal that was later extended to 12 months.

Ighalo scored five goals in 18 appearances during the 2019-20 campaign as he proved a useful back-up option for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

However, the arrival of Edinson Cavani in the summer transfer window has restricted Ighalo to only one Premier League outing this season, with Solskjaer confirming his loan will not be extended beyond January.

Ighalo has now posted a heartfelt message on Instagram, which reads: "It’s so hard to see this dream come to an end.

"But I give God the glory for helping me fulfill this life long dream of putting on a Manchester United shirt as a player and represent this great club, it was indeed an honor I will forever cherish and be grateful for.

"To the manager (Solskjaer) I say thank you for trusting and believing in me when many did not, to my amazing team mates I will miss you guys, it was always fun and a time I look forward to training and spending time with all of you.

Which club wanted to buy him and at how much would have been his monthly salary? (Going by your comment about him being the 5th highest paid player)

Left a highly lucrative contract to come and play second fiddle at Man u, just because you want to wear red? Red kee u dia... Inferiority complex at it's peak! No Brazilian player will do that! Ask Hulk, ask Oscar and Ramirez. Over 250k pound a week? You bone am!? Khai! You forgot you are from Africa? Grab the money first!

it was not a permanent deal but a loan which he need to get as he is near retirement. beside adding man Ute to his cv boosted his profile as a footballer!

Oga Valentine,
What are we going to do with that "profile" in Ajegunle? He should be chasing the money! If he feels he doesn't need the cash, people around him will need that..Edo boys will need that. That move was of no use. He wasn't even playing. Just there on the bench when lucky....

How is Manchester United F.C a Racist club? I don't know if you reason deeply from your empty brain before you shared your thought.
Team Coaches have what it prefers in his or her games selections. Eric Bailly is an African black man,He have had his contributions to the club glory; Can you say it is a racist club? He didn't have favour from the Club Manager.
Manchester United is not a racist club....
