Nigerian Pop Singer Takes A Dig At Manchester United Star Odion Ighalo

Odion Ighalo's football skill comes under questioning by a Nigerian pop star Cuppy but he was not having a hard time giving the singer a thumbs up.

Ighalo is having the best time of his career at United and has received praise from sport pundits and even his manager Ole Gunnar Solksjaer for his influence in the attack that has yielded four goals in eight appearances in all competitions.

Cuppy, whose real name his Florence Otedola, did ball juggling with a toilet paper in an Instagram update and compared her skill to that of the United loanee whom she claimed could not have done better.

"Brother @Ighalojude got NOTHING on me. Have you seen me BALLIN??? ⚽️ add me on TikTok 'cuppymusic'," the 27-year-old wrote on the platform.

The United forward did not find that offensive in his response to the singer but laughed about it. He wrote: "😂😂😂 nice once  @cuppymusic 👍💪"

Despite calls from popular sports analysts for Ighalo to be retained at United, his loaner and the Chinese super league side Shanghai Shenhua are considering offering the Nigerian international a two-year contract extension and wages increase of £400,000-a-week.
