Watford ace Ighalo dreams of Man Utd move

Watford striker Odion Ighalo admits it would be a 'dream' to play for Manchester United at Old Trafford.

The 26-year-old has attracted the attention of some of Europe's top clubs after scoring 14 goals in 20 appearances for the Hornets so far this campaign.

The Red Devils are the latest club to throw their hat in the ring, and Nigerian international Ighalo admits it would be difficult to knock back the chance to join his boyhood club.

"There has been speculation from Spain and Italy but I've played there and now want to play in England," he told The Sun.

"I don't think I will be moving but I'm not sure I'd say no if United called.

"They were my team growing up. I loved watching Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke on TV.

"They were my idols and playing at Old Trafford has always been a dream."
