He ain't in it for the money. That shows true character in a man. I wish him all the success at United.
Moves to China*
@@bigboiuzzy7854 He wouldn't have, had United made an offer back then
Moved from China to play for his Utd.. He would of joined utd for free, he clearly loves the club and we love him.
That’s very rare in football today. I’m so happy he’s playing for us
@@Mikehowarth1988 yh I get thst he isn't in for it now. But he was playing amazing football for Watford back then. And decides to leave and join a shite Chinese club. He's wasted 3 years of his life.
Everyone was mocking Man U when they signed him, but his delight is genuinely heartwarming.
@LucasTorreiraisthegoat literally an invalid comment, lol
@LucasTorreiraisthegoat the "french Darren bent" lacazette would never score in non-league
And no disrespect to darren bent
LucasTorreiraisthegoat where are arsenal?
LucasTorreiraisthegoat that comment makes no sense
Wow
All people laughed at us when we signed him at the deadline day now look at him he has more goals than some strikers who played the whole season !!
I Know
He deserves it
Glory Glory Man United
LucasTorreiraisthegoat Lucas Torreira isn’t great either is hr
@LucasTorreiraisthegoat look at lacazette getting dropped by nketiah
@LucasTorreiraisthegoat lacazette is the french darren bent
@LucasTorreiraisthegoat Why are you so obsessed with us. I see you in every post about united. Put your arsenal shirt in the bin and join us to release your stress😂
i wish him all the success, hope he does amazing
How did Chunkz just get 7 likes!!!!!
Yesss me too 100%
See the passion and excitement on his face when he talks about playing for the team! Happy he got this chance to play for his boyhood team.
When he was a boy Man United were good tho
Lol! This is all an act.... WHO WANTS TO PLAY WITH LINGARD?
@@Pressthebuttonn who wants to play with JOHN STONES? Laporte? 😂😂
Raj otamendi does cuz it makes him look somewhat decent
I support watford ,would of loved to have him back
"It's to early to talk about all that [next season], now is for me to fight in every game, make sure I give my blood my sweat for the team. I just want to keep working day by day, game to game improving, working with these great lads and this team, this great coach that had the confidence to bring me here. Make sure I pay him back with goals..."
I mean this answer describes the mans mentality. He is just very grateful that he has been given the opportunity to play on this big stage and more than anything else, he only wants to repay the favour by making the team successful through hard work and heart.
Other players who slack off must be made aware how big Man Utd is!! Ighalo's interview must be viewed mandatorily before every match.
Phil Jones said something very similar when he joined 😉
What an amazing reply hey! 😊
Compare that to Pogba...such a leech...him and his Agent...them bastards!
@@fuzzylogger
Very true man
People like Lingard should be made to watch morning afternoon and night
Ighalo has already proven a lot of people wrong and that he is an insane player. He is incredible
I do PAC bots
Drafts
I got 99 van dijk
I wouldn’t say insane because he hasn’t done this against a proper proper challenging side. But definitely quality nonetheless!
I know I have pacybits
People downplaying his quality because he’s “only” scored against farmers in Europa league...but they praise Mbappe and Neymar for scoring against the same level of opposition every week 😂😂
Gaijin Hakase 😂😂 so true
No they don't? Everyone rips them for playing in a farmers league? Even Messi who is the best player of all time playing in a much better league gets people saying "could he do it on a cold rainy night in stoke lol
ManaWearBlack That rainy day in Stoke will haunt him forever.
@@manawearblack im sure ronaldo is the best player of all time 🤷🏻♂️
@@urmomgayahaha Then why does Messi have more goals, more assists and more ballon d'ors when he's 3 years younger?
I was sceptical at first but now seeing his passion and even technical ability he's an all-round little gem - he's a united player through and through
That goal he scored vs LASK, Lukaku would still be trying to trap that pass from Bruno to this minute i swear.
Tom.Featherstone as an Arsenal fan, I’m happy for Ighalo. Would you like to see Him extend his contract? To be a super sub at United ?
@@treycon9899 Lukaku scored a lot more than Ighalo
773 Yung Prince how long has lukaku
being at united and how long has ighalo being there????
Didn’t you follow the premier league when he was at Watford!? He’s not just got ability now he’s at United. Fans these days 🤦🏽♂️
He’s truly been fantastic so far. That small contribution at the end during the derby was vital. It’s good to see such a humble and amazing human being like him living his dreams.
Who on earth has dreams to play for united?
Emmanuel Siju | 95% of people from your country
@@IIxCOBWEBxII Yeah, to play for city....
@@Pressthebuttonn say that without crying brada.
Emmanuel Siju
city?
Take away the blood money and the cheating spanish doctors and all city has is an empty stadium and no history
So happy for him, he deserves it and is exceeding everyone’s expectations 🥳🥳
Yeah I really like him I hope he stays
@@tomhendy1993 foreal I want man u sign him permanently
Not really
@@XJokermanX what u mean
@@jaheimraheim4115 he hasn't exceeded our expectations because we didn't expect much. He's over done his expectations
I’m an arsenal fan , but I want this guy to stay at United ... he loves the club and doesn’t care how much money he gets and that’s rare in football these days . Hope he scores loads of goals!
Sasan Rahem Not against Arsenal though😂😂😂😂😂
Now this is a real football fan comments...
👏👏👏👏
@@TheBancho how old are 2 or 3 i think because your name is firemansam
Respect
His hold up play and first touch is what we all wanted from lukaku. A CF is more than just goal scoring because when goals dry up what else do you provide?
@bobz manny can't score against the top 4 of serie a he only scored once against the big teams of ucl which was barcas b team after missing countless chances.smashing? really
bobz manny park park wherever you may be, you eat dogs in your home country, could be worse, could be ..........
Mario Lisa hahahahahahaha bingo!!
@@Treeesmith why you putting "hahahahahaah" like you were laughing hysterically? I can be almost certain you didn't even smile let alone laugh.
Daz Ediss the politics of football.. it’s funny most fans never see this they only follow what the pundits and commentators say on tv.. if Ighalo was English, Belgian or French him going to Manu wouldn’t be a big deal.. it’s just like Iheanacho who has one of the best goal to minute ratio in world football languishing on Leicester city’s bench.. he has a little chance, he scores but players like Dennis Praat and Atoze always get the nod over him in the big games... it’s sad that Africans have not developed their own leagues where their players can also have an upper hand.. not blaming anyone just saying reason why people like Lukaku are where they are is because of football politics..
Every mu fan is so much in love with this guy and he deserves every bit of it.
A Manchester United fan knows the importance of playing in Theatre Of Dreams , his passion for the game awesome . Hope he proves that he is worthy to play for Manchester United. Keep improving Ighalo ....
My mum's worthy of playing for Manchester United
More like theatre of nightmares...
Emmanuel Siju 🤫🤫🤫🤫
@@Pressthebuttonn emptihad
DP24s Music and their competitors like city and Liverpool ? 😂
He totally described the way we watch football in Nigeria perfectly
In Africa
😂yes he did
Perfectly
I d tells you 😂😂
Really candid interview. Ighalo seems like a humble guy. Refreshing attitude
When he said "Tear-ta of Dreams" that was so sincere..Ayy a man living his dreams is very dangerous because they just don't want to wake up.
I love Ighalo he’s settled in so well and he just looks so excited to play for man United such a nice guy
I’m a city fan, but a guy who puts heart before his pocket deserves credit! Well played
After long time we finally getting players who ain't coming just for money
biniam mersha to be honest he earns a lot in China soooooo no wonder money wasn’t an issue
And that is the fomula for success. Look at sheffield united players. Not in it for the money they in it to win. Passion and fight win football games. Not celebrity players
I think that's the difference between Ole and some previous managers. Buying quality is one thing, buying character and passion is another. Ole struck a happy medium in his recruitment of Bruno and Ighalo. Summer recruits have also shown incredible character. The injection of passion and togetherness Ole has put in is showing. This is what I want to see.
@@kirokyo Dam Right
The Ole effect. Say what you will about him, but it's undeniable that he and his team have an excellent track record in terms of signings so far.
He's living every United fan's dream! We're all with you Odion.
A humble player that gives his all in every game for us. I love his atttitude and if we had more people like him then the world would be a better place
For us 😆😆😆😆😆😆
@LucasTorreiraisthegoat he is better than lacashit. Hence why he has more europa goals than laca and auba combined in recent EL games
@@rajyt4888 How is Europa league?
@@Pressthebuttonn how is your ban?
His response to 3:55 was absolutely phenomenal. This is UNITED mentality! FOR THE BADGE! All love ighalo I hope you get an extension. GGMU❤️
Ighalo is so humble.. Continue to shine my friend...
Really happy for him, You can tell he’s gonna do everything to succeed
He is just a Btec Benteke...
@@Pressthebuttonn are you negative everywhere? Try to cheer up, see a doctor maybe.
Emmanuel Siju.. you’re either drunk or stupid 😴
@@AA_SE14 TBH, he's both drunk and stupid
Really like Ighalo. Attitude is 100% .Happy that he is playing for the club of his dreams .😍😍👍
"Wanna give my blood, sweat for the team". That shows he ain't here for the money. Please give him a contract and he will be worth it
Where’s all the mandem that laughed when we signed him on deadline day ?
Now look at him banging player
Still need to see him against a top quality side. But he is really looking quality like he was at Watford of course, he’s looking better than he was at Watford actually, I’m surprised tbh
He was also great before for example the African cup of Nations but for United he is at a whole new level
Heung-Min Son is sexy he did well when he came on against city. His hold up play and dragging defenders out of the way was superb.
He is doing what we need. If only pogba was like this then maybe we might be top 4
Raj pogba is one of the best CAM/CM in the world. He’s utd’s best player. Imagine utd with pogba in that now that they have Bruno and rashford coming back from injury. On paper that looks like a team that will compete for the league
I'm a simple man. I see Ighalo, I click.
I'd give any amount of money to watch a United team full of players with this attitude. A breath of fresh honestly and I loved him before he'd even kicked a ball
Not just a humble person but he has the talent to help us out, amazing guy living his dream so happy for him!
Us 😀😀😀😀
@@joshbenson3347 Can't u read idiot, "us" meaning United! Childish fool
Arsenal fans was laughing when united signed IGHALO 🤣🤣 now he’s got more goals than Lacazette
This year.
In the league?
This year. And that’s Laca coming back from injury, he’s barely played a full match - total false equivalency.
Anthony he’s only played 3 matches and laca has played more without the injury so hush
@@sTreek90 Ighalo is faster and stronger than laca. He has more goals in his last 3 starts than the in arsenal last 3 games
His character worth all my respect - professional, humble, hardworking. My whole family is supporting him every single time he plays.
I love how he’s able to describe the Nigerian football atmosphere to the reporters without compromising any details. +234 to the 🌍
Seems like such a genuine character living out his childhood dream. Love it. Everyone has to be happy for the guy.
I BELIEVE IN IGHALO!
This is what I say all the time when Odion plays. This interview shows what a class of character he really is. Mature, cool, calm, driven and full of passion - it's exactly what United needs. Totally underrated, full respect to this man. C'mon UNITED!
His passion is absolutely infectious. If every united player today had that spark, there would be no stopping them!
Lads, I'd like to propose the following chant for Odion:
"He's one of our own,
He's of ourr ownnn,
Odion Ighalo,
He's one of our own"
It's fitting since he too is a Man United supporter and part of the fanbase, like us. I know this chant is specifically for location based lads, but now football has transcended boundaries and global fan bases exist. It's pretty basic but it works. Think he deserves it so far. Living the dream.
He is everything that made me love football in the beginning. I was so happy to hear someone so passionate about the club and to have achieved his dream from humble beginnings is incredible.
If only the players before him had even a percentage of his enthusiasm, Manu would be top.
Falcao
Sanchez
Di Maria
Just a few that can say they came to the theatre of dreams and were gutless.
Don't blame Falcao to much tbh but the others are pure snakes.
I just laugh at the state of Manchester United...
Emmanuel Siju why u watching videos about them then
So humble! Hope that he can score more goals for man u and get a safer spot in the starting xl
Mendy is more humble...
Man that's one of coolest English accents I've ever heard. Right up there with Jamaican.
Ighalo is Yoruba not Igbo and I’m not even Nigeria I’m English 😂😂
As an Zimbabwean I’ll will say that I love the Nigerian/English accent. I don’t really trust a lot of them but I love the accent.
@JAY JAY BINKS His name Odion Ighalo is the most Benin/Edo State name ever. He grew up in Lagos, a yoruba land, but his origin is Edo State. His accent is definitely not igbo though. Igbo accent is very distinctive. I hear hints of both yoruba, and south accents (Edo/Delta state). But he has lived long enough outside Nigeria that his accent has been influenced a little, so it's hard to pin point.
JAY JAY BINKS Igbo people and tribalism jeez!! It’s in your blood! Hatred & stupidity.
@@jaredscott3383 lol he is from Edo not Igbo or Yoruba
We love you Ighalo. Ever since you were announced, I believed in you. Now everyone believes in you. God bless you! GGMU 💛❤️
Lol fake love...
Emmanuel don’t be jealous
Emmanuel Siju like a city fans sucking off fraudiola for buying players with blood money from satans arsehole
Give him a two year deal, he already deserves it and not just for his performances.
Lion Pride like with ole? when he went on a streak as soon as ole got the contract he flopped
Ighalo=🧨🧨🧨
God
Yeah his legacy will burn...
Jack Carter don’t blaspheme against God. Ighalo isn’t God
I’m Manchester United fan like you we need someone love United like you and Scott
Plastic...
We need more men like this in the team
He’s so humble and wants to fight for the badge. Someone that has been rare at united since fergie left
After what we've had to put up with Pogba and the Glazers, this guy is a dream.
Oh boy, it turned out to be probably the best decision this has man ever made in his entire life.
Gonçalo Alves nah man he’s already rated as a goals scorer in Nigeria and a stand up guy due to his orphanage ... he was making £300k a week there - he came for the badge.
Bruno too
Whether you love or hate United this man's journey to where he is at this time in his life proves that your destiny and dreams are always closer than u think.... Sending best wishes and good luck Ighalo.... From 🇹🇹... Yorke's home town👏🏽
ManUtd are really doing great recruitment the past 12 months. Quality players with great personalities.
Odion Ighalo's stats are impressive.
I don’t why I’m just genuinely happy for the guy really! I strongly wish he would be successful (I know in my heart he will) sign and retire here from a united fan from Thailand.
IGHALO representing Nigeria👊🏾👊🏾

So proud of him
So humble
God bless your new journey bro
What a great guy to have at the club. I hope he stays here next season. He’s not here for the money he’s here for the badge
Why would he be there for money? United are too broke...
Emmanuel Siju got anything else to do besides troll all the united fans? Mendy is only good for assisting McTominay..
Emmanuel Siju hahaha nice joke United are the richest club along with Barca and real
U see d passion, zeal, hunger to play for a dream club in ighalo. That genuine smile says it all...He's so happy to be here & we Nigerians & other man United fans around d world are so happy he's living his dream and wishing him all d best!
I love this guy fam full-on passion for the club!
You can see he's a very humble guy he deserves all respect for the person he is because as you can see he's not here for the money he's here to try his hardest and I wish him all the success and Manchester united
Imagine if he scores the goal that wins us the fa Cup or the Europa League
You could only imagine....
Imagine all the people....
Imagine the season finishing.
That would be so brilliant! What a moment that would be!!
Emmanuel Siju doubt you can do even that mate
No matter who you support, you have to love this guy
“I was in my bed room in Shanghai , I called my agent I had no team , so my phone rang my agent said we have a United offer , I was in my bed at 11pm I was in a towel , I said to my agent make a pay cut I don't care , just sign this deal”
- odion ighalo
“Cut the deal no bull he does his job in full “ great passion u could see it by expression and the exact kind of character united needed he will be a success for sure
He just makes me happy
Lol keep being happy about him being a flop...
@@Pressthebuttonn Man's living his dream, what's there not to be happy about?
@@Pressthebuttonn he will never be a flop, rather a legend
Lol me as well
@@Pressthebuttonn shhh!!! Bruno will hear u...n will slap whatever team you support
Look at how happy he is to be part of legendary club .i love the passion.
"So you were a glory hunter?" - it's called being in awe of the best, and appreciating them.
And when you keep supporting your team, even when they are going through hard times, that's when you know you're a true fan. And when you see the smile on Ighalo's face when he talks about United, when you see his determination every time he steps on the pitch, you know he's one of us.
(BTW I know it was just banter)
Did not read your paragraph because you were just waffling, but Ighalo is a glory hunter. That is the definition... If it was a city fan you would be saying different...
this is the mentality & passion every man united player need !!
Everyone that emerges great from Ajegunle have a commonality: a deep sense of gratitude to God for their achievements.
Ghetto life makes one so humble when you struggle & make it from the ghetto. It's all about survival of the fitest in the ghetto
@LucasTorreiraisthegoat lacazette would struggle to get in a Sunday league team
god doesnt grant success. you're all brainwwshed to think that
Very true, anyone that emerges from that community has to be exceptional
Jamie Reynolds what if you are the brainwashed one lol it’s 50/50
Genuine love for the club. You could literally feel it through the screen. Compelled me to ready every comment too!
A true Red devil! We need more of u! GGMU!!

He is best in his nature and his play,All d best u have won million hearts,Hope u stay for many more seasons,United😊

@@Pressthebuttonn How mr salty?
@@truemancstv9769 stop wasting your time telling him stuffs like 'Hold up play..' the poor boy, @Emaanuel Siju doesn't understand what it means. only struggling to be relevant..
So Humbling!!!
This interview (and especially his first one for MUTV) are all you need to know about this man's committment to our club. Add this to what we have seen of him thus far - a deft touch, strength, positional play, hold up play, decision making and simple accurate passes - and all of a sudden you have the missing piece in the United attacking line. With Bruno orchestrating it's potency.
Welcome to the house that Ole is building!!! 🇿🇲
Chabala Maipose my brother please don’t forget his finishing when you are listing his traits- Ighalo has that strikers instinct, banging all kinds of goals, his movement is quality as well.
I'm so happy for him, his story is genuinely heart-warming. I hope you continue to perform and get a permanent contract! Good luck man
Ive experienced these football viewing centres in Africa & I’m so happy that he has made it this far. God is great
He is genuinely happy to be in United. This is what real footballers are made up of. He is here just for the team. You are a legend for me igalho
He's one of us, I hope he gets the permanent deal as we need him, and he needs us. Thank you Ole for seeking passionate, true footballers not money whores and celebrities.
I think i was only the person who knew he would do good. The guys not driven by money just pure passion. He’s literally living his dream and the only way he’s gonna keep living the dream if he’s keeps playing at this level and I have no doubt that he will.
I've been a Man United fan since 1986. Ighalo is already up there as one of my favourite players. His incredible passion and humble attitude is everything missing in modern football. Plus his technique, first touch and positional play has been outstanding compared to Lukaku's 2 seasons. Makes you wonder how has he not played for a super-club before now!?
I keep asking myself
Some good players are not lucky that was the case of jay jay okocha
Man's a baller so happy for him heart and soul in every match him and Bruno live and breathe United
It is between Pat Evra and Odion Igalo, my favorite human being.
Everyone aspires in everything he does to feel the joy he is feeling right now. You see players joining a club and say its a dream come true but when i saw this interview you could sense in your gut that this guy has made his dream a reality and he is still in shock. He is a motivation for all of us in our walk of life to make it in their specific field
I’m so happy for you
We need to win a trophy with Ighalo 🖤
Watching game from the viewing center is a experience every football fan must have.
Imagine all players being this passionate!
Though I'm a CHELSEA ❤️ fan but I'm happy for you fulfilling your dream good luck bro
Seems like such a nice guy. So happy he got to play for United and fulfil a dream. Long may his success continue.
Love this man, he’s only getting better to.💪
His heart is there. He WANTS to play for United. Ole has nurtured that spirit at United. Someone playing with heart is priceless.
"Make sure I give my blood"
THIS IS THE PLAYER THAT MAN. UNITED REALLY NEED SINCE FERGIE LEFT.
This what you call fkin passion for any player to play for their dream club! Every clubs need this kind of players in football. Love ❤️ Manchester United 🔥😍
See why Rom had to go?
I liked him but man...Guy's first touch at times was like a tennis ball at 100 Km/h hitting a concrete slab
Lukaku is your best player since penaldo.. Behave
😂😂😂🤣
Rom was a Chelsea fan, he always wanted to play for Chelsea, his idol was drogba, it wasn’t gonna end well with lukaku
@@Pressthebuttonn West Broms best yea.. 🤙🏾
The Answer
lukaku had the first touch of an over inflated bouncy castle
That is passion no amount of money can buy, a man who truly loves this club. I hope his success here continues.
