Man Utd to Consider Permanent Ighalo Deal

By Daily Sports on March 6, 2020

Odion Ighalo has been a “breath of fresh air” at Manchester United, says Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, with there every chance that he will be snapped up on a permanent basis over the summer.

The Nigerian striker linked up with the Red Devils during the January transfer window on an initial loan agreement.

He was acquired on deadline day as Solskjaer scrambled around to bring added firepower into his ranks at Old Trafford.

Ighalo boasts useful Premier League experience from a previous spell in England at

Watford and is a proven performer at domestic and international level.

The 30-year-old frontman is also a boyhood United fan desperate to make his mark at the Theatre of Dreams and earn an extended stay.

Solskjaer is willing to consider that, telling Sky Sports: “It doesn’t hurt [living the dream] but he’s here on merit, he’s here because he is a goalscorer and a different type of striker for us.

“We might get to the summer and think we want to extend this, who knows?

“He’s come in as a breath of fresh air as well. He had chances in his five minutes against

Chelsea, he scored against Bruges, he had chances against Watford, he had a very good save [from a shot] against Everton – there have been good saves, he doesn’t miss the target very often.

“Even for Anthony (Martial), Mason (Greenwood) and Marcus (Rashford) to learn that it is where the sharks are swimming. It’s comfortable outside the box and you can have a few shots. It’s in there where it might be a bit tougher and you might get hurt – that’s where you get goals.”

Ighalo scored a brace as Manchester United defeated Derby County 3-0 to book FA Cup quarter final place. (Goal)
