Man United Move: It is now Eagles need Ighalo–Rohr

Super Eagles Coach Gernot Rohr has said that it will be difficult for any coach  to overlook Odion Ighalo after the striker sealed a six-month loan move to Manchester United at the weekend.

For this reason, the German said he will try look to convince the player to return to the national team after calling it quits after last year’s Africa Cup of Nations.

“We are very happy about the new team of Ighalo, Manchester United is a fantastic challenge for him and i spoke already with him and you know he is a very good player on and off the pitch.

“If a player is playing in Manchester United each coach of national teams would like to have him. Our young players could learn a lot on the side of this great goal scorer,” Rohr told AOIFootball.com.
