Odion Ighalo’s spirits seem to be sky high after securing his dream move to Manchester United and the striker was pictured grinning and laughing outside the Lowry Hotel on Monday.
He stepped out of his temporary residence dressed in a grey Nike hoodie and greeted by friends.
The forward supported United as a child and it seems he is still revelling in his move to the Old Trafford club.
Ighalo fussed over a baby and chatted with his friends in the car park outside United’s frequently used hotel in Manchester city centre.
The former Watford man has joined on loan from Shanghai Shenua and his new club will be paying £100,000 of his £300,000-a-week wages.
Ighalo landed in Manchester on Sunday and told Sky Sports News: ‘Its been crazy. Obviously I am happy to be in Manchester and this is a great opportunity for me.
‘And I’m grateful to God, my agent and the coach that gave me this opportunity to be here. I’m happy to be here to work hard with the team and finish very well this season.
‘It’s a dream come true because since I was a kid I have always dreamed about Man United, but this is reality now.’
