Odion Ighalo's first official picture in a Manchester United kit has finally been unveiled by the club on its Twitter handle on Tuesday evening, allnigeriasoccer.com reports.The 30-year-old striker was spotted holding up his chosen No. 25 jersey as he was about to face the cameras for his first interview with the Old Trafford outfit since his deadline day acquisition from Shanghai Shenhua.
It must be said that Ighalo is most likely to play his first game as a Red Devil when they face Chelsea in a Premier League encounter thirteen days from today.
Manchester United moved to bring in the former Super Eagle just before the close of the window as they bid to provide backup for the injured Marcus Rashford as well as continue to be competitive in three fronts this season, the Premier League, the FA Cup and the Europa League.
He will become the first player of Nigerian descent to represent Manchester United in the history of the English Premier League should he get minutes against the Blues.
