Odion Ighalo’s great start at Manchester United is the subject of a story from Italian website Calcio Mercato on Friday.
They talk about how the striker has already scored four goals in his first months for the club, pointing out that he could actually be playing somewhere else now.
It’s said Ighalo first rejected an offer from Tottenham Hotspur, and was even offered to Inter Milan in the last week of the transfer window.
But he ended up moving to Old Trafford, where he’s always ‘humble and smiling’, being the kind of player who’s loved by teammates, managers and fans.
Calcio Mercato recalls that the loan deal from SH Shenhua doesn’t include a buying option for Manchester United, but still, his permanent stay at Old Trafford isn’t unthinkable, and ‘far from that’.
The same journalist who writes Calcio Mercato’s story has previously claimed that the buying option couldn’t be sorted because this was a last minute deal, and there was the risk of missing out on the deadline.
