Watford striker Odion Ighalo admits he would have to consider leaving Vicarage Road if Manchester United showed an interest in him this month.
Ighalo, 25, has been one of the success stories of the Premier League this season and his form in front of goal has been integral behind the Hornets incredible first half of the season.
The Nigeria international is likely to court interest from some of the top clubs in England and abroad over the next six months and while the Watford striker doesn’t think he will leave in this window he has revealed that playing for United is a dream.
“There has been speculation from Spain and Italy but I’ve played there and now want to play in England,” Ighalo is quoted as saying by the London Evening Standard. "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.”
Ighalo blasted Watford to promotion to the Premier League last season with 20 goals in his maiden campaign in England and the frontman has made the seamless transition to the Premier League, where he has found scoring no problem at all.
In fact, no player has scored a greater proportion of their teams league goals this season than Ighalo (56%).
