I’ll Fight Racism By Walking Off The Pitch – Ighalo

Manchester United striker, Odion Ighalo has promised to leave the pitch if he is racially abused again.

He revealed that he was recently called all sorts of names by an opposition player during a match in China and it was a horrible experience.

According to him, he reported the incident to the Chinese FA but nothing was done about it, so he decided to let it go.

He then added that he now made up his mind to walk off the pitch if he is ever subjected to racist abuse in a Manchester United shirt.

His words, “If it happens to me I would report it to the referee and see what they do, but if they don’t take action about it then I’m going to walk off because it should not be done to any player or anyone in the world,’

‘In one game in China I got called all sorts of names and after the game, I didn’t shake his hand. I walked straight into the dressing room, I was angry, I reported it to the FA.

‘I didn’t press forward with it, I just let it go because I’m just this kind of guy. I don’t like to drag issues out. But I don’t think it should be condoned in any country.”
