New Manchester United striker, Odion Ighalo will not travel to Spain for Manchester United’s warm-weather training camp because of uncertainties surrounding travel restrictions associated with the coronavirus outbreak.
Mufc fear he might not be allowed back into England due to precautionary measures in place for whoever has been in China in recent weeks, with Ighalo having featured for Shanghai Shenhua before moving to Old Trafford.
Speaking recently, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said the Nigerian will remain in Manchester since he arrived from China in the last 14 days and he’ll be working with a personal coach in the city.
He added that even if Ighalo would’ve loved to go with the players to Spain, the border restrictions involved complicated things for the club.
His words, “Odion will stay in Manchester, because he arrived from China in the last 14 days,”
“Because of the situation in China, we’re not sure if he’d be allowed back into England if he leaves the country again, so he’s staying here working with a personal coach, individual programme and his family then can settle in England as well. That’s a plus.
“Of course he might have liked to have come with the players and got to know them, but the risk [of potential border restrictions tightening]… we don’t want to take that.”
On the rest given to EPL temas, “Of course, we come back and we kick on. We want to get results,”
“Towards the end now, before this break, we played okay and didn’t concede too many goals. But we didn’t create chances and missed that little bit of spark, I felt. Maybe because of the mental tiredness.
“Physically, they did really well in every aspects of the games but mentally, now, we kick on.”
