PREMIER LEAGUE: Manchester United move hard to turn down - Ighalo

Image

Odion Ighalo expects to remain at Watford for the foreseeable future but admitted Manchester United would be a tough club to turn down.

Watford striker Odion Ighalo would find it hard to say no if Manchester United made an approach for his services but has played down the prospect of leaving Vicarage Road this month.

Ighalo has been one of the standout performers for Quique Sanchez Flores' side on their return to the Premier League - helping Watford to ninth in the table with 20 games gone.

The Nigeria international has 14 goals in 20 top-flight appearances this term, having also scored 20 times in the Championship last term as Watford went up as league winners.

Amid speculation linking him with a move to the likes of Atletico Madrid and Roma, Ighalo says he wants to stay in the Premier League, most likely at Watford.

But the 26-year-old acknowledged United would prove difficult to turn down.

Former Udinese and Granada man Ighalo told The Sun: "There has been speculation from Spain and Italy but I've played there and now want to play in England.

"I don't think I will be moving but I'm not sure I'd say no if United called.

"They were my team growing up. I loved watching Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke on TV.

"They were my idols and playing at Old Trafford has always been a dream."

“A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him” (Aesop, 620–564 BC).

Guy needs to shut up ... Why antagonize a supportive fan base smh .... Keep those thoughts to yourself or privately speak with United .... Watch the backlash now if he goes on a goals drought

Buhari, whose two terms thankfully ground to a constitutional halt in May. (One thing both democracies have going for them is that their leaders, however bad, have only two terms to swing the wrecking ball.) Under Buhari, growth per head also plunged to 0. An economic agenda drawn from the dusty pages of a 1970s protectionist handbook failed to do the trick. Despite Buhari’s promise to tame terrorism and criminality, violence flourished. Despite his reputation for probity, corruption swirled. FT

Why? You expect him to look forward to moving from one small club to another when he can join big teams with diverse and loaded trophy cabinet.

Big teams are defined by their history and trophy cabinet not league position in 2 seasons. Juventus was once demoted to Div 2, that doesn't give Lazio the liberty to claim superiority. Chelsea are the current champions and they don't claim to be bigger than Man United and they have won the Champions League :taunt:

Strike while the iron is hot ?
Could be a great move but again, the pressure might be huge especially for a manager on his last legs

Any worse than Nigerians treat OUR OWN PEOPLE when they are 'not doing the business'?

Manu Garba?
Mikel?
Musa?
