SAN FRANCISCO, September 09, (THEWILL) – Victor Osimhen’s older brother, Andrew, says that the Super Eagles striker had a chance of joining English side Manchester United but he rejected it out of respect for Odion Ighalo.
Andrew stated this while speaking with Complete Sports, saying the Super Eagles striker declined United’s offer.
He said: “It is very true that Manchester United wanted Victor but he told me something like he had too much respect for Odion Ighalo to be competing for shirts with his senior colleague.
“My brother holds Ighalo in high esteem and he just didn’t see himself going to Old Trafford to battle for a striking role with the highest goal-scorer at the 2019 AFCON in Egypt.”
THEWILL reports that Osimhen eventually opted to sign for Italian side Napoli and has been in terrific form so far.
