Premiership club, Manchester United, has signed Nigerian international striker, Jude Odion Ighalo, on a six-month loan deal at the the close of January window on Friday night.
Sky Sports twitted @SkysportsNews: “It’s happening….
Manchester United have reached an agreement with Shanghai Shenhua to take Odion Ighalo on loan for six months with an option to buy, having already agreed terms with the player.
It would be recalled that Ighalo had played for Watford before migrating to China.
Ighalo’s premiership experience coupled with his current form in China, where he has been one of the highest goal scorers for the second season, warmed him into the heart of Man Unted management.
The management had been searching for a quality strker after Rashford’s injury.
Aside his current form, Ighalo was the highest goal scorer in the last edition of African Nations Cup played in Egypt.
