See a whopping amount of money Ighalo to receive from Manchester United

Odion Ighalo is set to earn the sum of N1.4bn (£2.98m) during his six months loan at Manchester United.

Ighalo joined United on loan until the end of the season in a surprise move as a cover upfront for Marcus Rashford, who is facing an extended time out after suffering injury of double stress fracture in his back.

According to Sports Extra, the former Nigeria international, who took a pay cut in order to complete his dream deadline day move from Shanghai Shenhua to Manchester United, earns a huge aamount of N60m (£130,000) per week. He earned £300,000 per-week at Shanghai Shenhua.

It is reported that Ighalo will receive N244m (£520,000) in a month and in his six months at Old Trafford, the former Watford striker will collect N1.4bn (£2.98m) as salary.

The 30-year-old forward is currently undergoing a personal fitness programme this week, to offer to get up to speed, having arrived into Manchester from China last Sunday.

Ighalo, who will wear the No.25 shirt, is confident he can boost United’s attack, which has struggled without Rashford, who he regards as one of the best in Europe at the moment.
