Umar Sadiq A Dream to the Theatre?
If things go as planned, Nigeria U-23 striker Umar Sadiq may waltz his way to the Theatre of Dreams after he was surprisingly courted by Manchester United. The Partizan Belgrade forward has however said his being tracked by the Old Trafford outfit is no accident. Only time will tell if he would eventually link up with compatriot, Odion Ighalo
So much so that Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has reportedly had the striker watched as recently as last week with a move to a potential bid after he scored 17 goals in 35 games for the Serbians this term. “We work thoroughly before every game. We don’t only talk about tactics and video analysis, but also human relationships.
The forward was one of the standout performers during his side’s 1-0 victory over rivals Red Star Belgrade in a derby outing. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s men, however, dominated the second leg at Old Trafford, securing a comfortable 3-0 victory in the encounter. Joining Rangers in July 2018, there was a hope that Sadiq would challenge first-choice striker Alfredo Morelos for a starting berth, but this didn’t prove to be the case. Instead, he managed just four first-team appearances before his loan was terminated in December that year – with just one appearance coming from the start.
In January 2018, Sadiq joined Serie B side Perugia as he looked to get his career back on track. Still contracted to Roma at this point, it was a chance for the Nigerian to prove to his parent club that he had what it took. However, he managed just three goals in 18 appearances.
