Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how former Nigerian international Ifeanyi Udeze lamented the treatment meted out to former Super Eagles star Odion Ighalo at English club Manchester United.

According to the former defender, Ighalo’s situation at the Premier League club is becoming an insult following the 31-year-old’s lack of playing time.

Ighalo’s who had a sensational start at the Old Trafford club scoring five goals in his first four starts has found it hard to break into the first team under manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Despite the manager stating that the Nigerian will be involved during their FA Cup clash against the player's former club Watford, he was yet again benched, a situation that infuriated Udeze.
