Odion Ighalo is interested in a move to MLS, Manchester United striker Alexis Nunes told ESPN in an interview published on Thursday.

Ighalo is currently on loan with United from Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua, but that loan is expected to expire on January 31, at which point the 31-year-old Nigerian could change in scenes. Ighalo says that a state-side move is something he thinks and would be open to.

“Today, I’m in Manchester but at the end of the month I don’t know where I will be,” Ighalo told Dawson. “If possible I would like to stay here but if I don’t have to go.

“I have options. I will wait for my agent. He is doing his job and I am doing it with me. At the end of the month, we have to decide what is best and we will take it. If it’s possible I would love to play in MLS but I have to wait to see if it ‘s possible …. The league is doing well and if the opportunity comes then I would get caught on it with both hands. “

Ighalo has had a professional career, having played in Nigeria, Norway, Spain, China and England. He has a distinguished history for scoring goals, with 141 goals for his name in 371 appearances across all competitions and has 16 goals in 35 appearances for the Nigerian national team.
