My agent spoke to me about a loan interest from Barcelona. The club wanted a striker with La Liga experience and someone who understands Spanish football.

I needed to focus on what is good for my career long-term and when you decide to do something - you stay true to yourself.

When I started supporting Man United, Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole were my heroes growing up.

When I was growing up, I knew a lot about football because I saw some of my grown-up siblings watching football on TV and they supported Manchester United.

Anyone who knows me back from when I was young knows me and my siblings supported Man United, we would pay to go and watch Man United play.

It is a great privilege for me to play at Man United, where great players like Dwight Yorke and Andy Cole have played.

Quique Sanchez Flores doesn't talk much but he's very intelligent.

I liked watching Dwight Yorke when he was at Man United. I'm a Man United fan.

To be the first Nigerian to play for Manchester United is a great achievement for me which I am going to cherish for the rest of my life because it's not easy to dream something and it comes true. It's a great feeling.

Troy Deeney is a good guy, he's one of the nicest guys I've played with. He says it how it is. He's not a guy that beats around the bush. If he's not happy, he says what he feels.

It is the happiest moment of my life, playing for my dream team, the team I supported when I was young.

You'd get ready, wash your jersey, and go out and support your darling team.

We didn't always have what we wanted or needed, we had to struggle. That is why I also thank God for my mum - she is the one who worked hard to pay for my first football boots.
