JUST IN:Manchester United set to sign this striker for £15m this summer after successful loan spell

    By TalkSport

         His dream move to Manchester United is set to become a permanent one this summer.

            The Daily Mail claim there is already a willingness to get a deal for Ighalo over the line, with his loan spell set to end a month earlier than most usually do.

         United will therefore have to negotiate an extension with Ighalo’s parent club, Shanghai Shenhua, with the Premier League season currently on hold owing to the corona virus pandemic
        Either way, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants to add Ighalo to his ranks on a permanent basis after the former Watford striker scored four goals in his first eight matches for the club.  

        The Chinese Super League outfit have put a £15m valuation on the player, who turns 31 in June.The Red Devils were not required to pay a loan fee for Ighalo in January, because they agreed to contribute close to 45 per cent of his gigantic £300,000-a-week pay package.

           Ighalo was initially viewed as a stop-gap signing after United failed with a bid to bring back their former academy starlet, Joshua King, from Bournemouth on deadline day.

        He has, however, surpassed expectations thus far with Solskjaer already hinting that United were interested in making the move permanent following United’s win against LASK earlier this month.         

      “He will improve and get better,” the United boss remarked.                “He has qualities we saw in him that we needed. And we will still need those qualities next season — so let’s see what we will do.”
