Former Nigeria international Abdul Sule has made a huge claim about Manchester United on loan striker Odion Ighalo’s next move.

Sule believes Ighalo will move to Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid or Barcelona during the summer window once his loan deal at Old Trafford expires.

Ighalo has scored 4 goals for Manchester United since his loan move from Chinese club Shanghai Shenua in the January transfer window.

Ighalo said recently that he will wait until the end of the season to consider offers from both United and Shanghai Shenua.

But Sule feels Manchester United don’t value Ighalo and he sees the striker moving on to another European team.

“I see Odion Ighalo earning a big-money move from top European teams when his loan expires at Manchester United,” Sule told Goal.

“I don’t think Man United are keen on retaining him because they seem not to value him enough to put hand him a regular place. He also may not be wanted again when Marcus Rashford is fit.”

Sule has further urged his country man to turn down the big money offer from China.

“I will not advise him to return to China now despite the attractive offer but would urge him to stay in Europe. I won’t be surprised if Chelsea, Manchester City, Real Madrid or Barcelona come for him.

“He has proven that he’s got a lot to offer at the highest level within his short stay at Man United and he can attract big brands and earn more money, playing in any of the top teams in England.

“He can always still return to China later in his career but right now, I think he has what it takes to shine in Europe.”
