Wake Up Nigeria, June 5, 2020
Manchester United striker, Odion Ighalo, has admitted he is considering a return to the Nigerian national team. Ighalo retired from International football after the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, where he finished as top scorer. One of the reasons he gave for his decision, was the stress of traveling between China and Nigeria.
Ighalo who moved to England in January to join the red devils, has extended that deal until January 2021. The 30-year-old has considered making a return to the Nigerian team: “I am still in contact with Gernot Rohr and Amaju Pinnick, and they congratulated me on my loan deal,” Ighalo told Brila FM.
“I am still thinking about returning to the national team, but right now I want to concentrate on my club career. I left the national team because of the distance between Nigeria and China, but now that I am in Manchester and just like life and in my career, you never can tell.”
Mary Alimi and Emmanuel Akindubuwa sat to discuss this report and its implications for Super eagles as well as Ighalo’s football career.
