VIDEO: Odion Ighalo on his journey from Africa to the Premier League

"It is a dream come true because since I was kid I always dreamt about Man United," Ighalo told Sky Sports on his arrival in Manchester. "This is reality now. It has been crazy, but I am happy to be in Manchester and this is a great opportunity for me. I am happy to work hard with the team, and to finish very well this season."

Ighalo turned down another Premier League club to join United, the club he's been a fan of since childhood. He even took a considerable pay cut in order to be able to play for the Manchunians. 

The Nigeria international scored 16 times in 55 Premier League appearances for Watford before moving to Changchun Yatai in January 2017, and then Shanghai Shenhua two years later.
