He told : "Another push I'm trying to get through is a fight with Ngannou - in Africa.
"I want to push that. If I can get Francis Ngannou in Africa for our own African people to see us perform, instead of us performing in European countries and Saudi, it will give just a little bit of a taste to our young and upcoming talent in Africa to see African warriors go at it."
Chisora and Ngannou posed for pictures together in the stands at Old Trafford before the Europa League match.
They held up United shirts that were gifted to them by the club.
