Odion Ighalo was never the first Nigerian to play at Manchester United.


Ex super eagles player Odion Jude Ighalo will not be the first Nigerian player to play football at the Old Trafford. Remi Mark Moses was first to do so.
Remi started at West bromwich Albion under manager , Ron Allison in the late 70's when west brom finished top 5 for all but one season between 1977 and 1980 reaching the UEFA cup's quarter finals.
In 1981 United signed him for £500,000 and he made his debut on September 19, 1981. He scored a United goal in that same season to become the first black player to score for the club.
Injuries gradually forced him out of the team and he finally announced his retirement in the 1980-1989 season at age 28.
