Manchester United have wrapped up the signing of Nigerian striker, Odion Ighalo on loan from Shanghai Shenhua until the end of the season.
Mufc reportedly enquired about loan deals for Leicester’s Islam Slimani and Bournemouth forward Josh King, before sealing the Ighalo deal on the last day.
The Nigerian is set to arrive at Old Trafford on a short-term basis in the coming days with Ole proud to have him in his attack.
His words, “Odion is an experienced player. He will come in and give us an option of a different type of center-forward for the short spell he’s staying with us,” he said.
“A great lad and very professional, he will make the most of his time here.”
Ighalo, a childhood fan of the Red Devils, featured for Watford between 2014 and 2017, scoring 20 goals in 30 Championship appearances to help the team gain promotion during his first full season at the club.
He netted 36 goals in 55 games for the Chinese Super League club, before joining the Shanghai Shenhua last year.
