The 30-year-old Nigeria forward has joined United on loan from Shanghai Shenhua until the end of the season. "A few other clubs had shown interest, I said: 'Please, just pick United, if it's going to be possible,'" he said. "I know many people used to say when they join a team, they say that they dream of playing for that team. "People that know me, even back in Nigeria, and even when I was playing at Watford, my team-mates knew that I loved Manchester United, I support them."
