Why I'm sad about my move to Manchester United - Ighalo

Odion Ighalo has stated that the death of his sister is the only thing that makes him sad about his move to Manchester United.

Ighalo joined Manchester United on loan from Shanghai Shenhua in China and will remain with the club till the end of the season.

However, the move to his dream club still gives him sadness because his late sister who was a Manchester United fan couldn't live to witness it.

His sister, 43, fell and collapsed in December, 2019.

“I feel very emotional because it has not really struck me that my sister is gone forever and I am never going to see her again,” Ighalo told the UK Sun.

“Sometimes when I am alone and I just remember her, I have one sharp pain in my heart.

“My twin sister, Akhere, will call me, crying, saying she misses her and, sometimes when I am alone, I cry too.

“It is a very painful loss but I am trying to be strong as a man.”
