The Manchester United forward was more vocal on his own part with a record of him at the Parc des Prince stadium in Paris after Manchester United won PSG in the UEFA Champions League game, expressing his discontent and anger specifically at the Nigerian Government on the treatment of its citizens.

The 31-year-old said he is ashamed of the government, seizing the opportunity to call on foreign bodies to intervene in the issue.
