Former Super Eagles left back, Ifeanyi Udeze, believes Odion Jude Ighalo is a lucky man, and should maximize his present opportunity. “Don’t let it slip”, he warns.
Udeze says at 31-years of age, Ighalo needs to amass the needed wealth as age was no longer on his side, imploring him to extend contract with his parent Chinese Super League Club Side, Shanghai Shenhua Football Club, who are willing to pay him 400,000 Pounds weekly, rather than pitching his tent with English Premier League side, Manchester United Football Club who are paying him lesser.
Ighalo receives a paltry £100,000 weekly wages from the Red Devils, having accepted a pay cut on joining the English Club on loan from his Parent Club.
The Ajegunle-born Ighalo is yet to determine his future, as Manchester United are pressing to extend his loan deal.
Udeze is of the opinion that Ighalo shouldnt allow this opportunity pass him by, as no Club will be willing to pay such huge amount for a 31- year old player.
“We are in this game to make money, so i will strongly advise Ighalo to return to China to make his money as age is no longer on his side”.
Udeze represented Nigeria at the 2002 FIFA World Cup in Japan and Korea, 2002 and 2004 African Cup of Nations tournament in Mali and Tunisia.
The former West Bromwich Albion Football Club and PAOK Salonica defender made his debut for the Super Eagles in 2001.
