Solskjaer eyeing late Ighalo deal on transfer deadline day

Manchester United are short of options in attack and have been offered the chance to sign Nigeria and  ex-Watford striker, Odion Ighalo, who is currently plies his trade in Chinese topflight.

Ighalo, 30, is currently at Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua and has enjoyed a successful time in the Far East.

But the Super League has been delayed because of the coronavirus and Ighalo is understood to be flying back to Europe today and could secure a move before Friday’s deadline.

Ighalo claimed last year he turned down an approach from Barcelona to be a back-up striker but could now be an option if United do decide to press ahead.
