January 15, 2021 Ighalo Sets Sight On MLS Move

ODION IGHALO has indicated he would like to stay at Manchester United beyond the end of the month and revealed he would also be interested in a move to Major League Soccer.

IGHALO’s loan from Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua is set to end on Jan. 31 after a year at Old Trafford. The Nigerian is waiting before making a decision on his next move but has said he would “love” the opportunity to play in the U.S.

With the arrival of EDINSON CAVANI in the summer, it is unlikely United will extend IGHALO’s stay. But if he leaves at the end of the month, the 31-year-old said he will do so having fulfilled his dream of playing for the team he supported as a boy in Lagos.

“I never believed I’d play for United,” he said. “Where I come from, we fight because of United games.

IGHALO made a key contribution to OLE GUNNAR SOLSKJAER’s team at the end of last season, scoring five goals in 19 appearances as United reached the semifinals of the FA Cup and Europa League, as well as finishing third in the Premier League to secure a return to the Champions League.

He has found opportunities harder to come by this term but it has not dented his appreciation for the chance to live out his dream.
