Odion Ighalo took pay cut to join Man Utd as he gives first interview since transfer
Lifelong Manchester United fan Odion Ighalo had no hesitation in taking a pay cut to complete his dream deadline-day move to Old Trafford.
"People support Man United a lot back there in Nigeria, so I developed that love, because all of my siblings, they are Man United fans. "A few other clubs had shown interest," Ighalo said. "I said 'please, just pick United, if it's going to be possible'. "He said you're going to get a pay cut to go to United. I said I don't care. Make this deal happen. I want to go to United. I don't care how much is the pay cut, I know that, make it happen."
