Manchester United to sign Odion Ighalo for £15m in the summer

Manchester United are reportedly ready to sign Odion Ighalo following his impressive performances at the Premier League club.

According to Daily Mail, Manchester United will pay up to £15million
this summer to sign Ighalo as his temporary move from Shanghai Shenhua
is set to end on May 31, earlier than most loan deals.

The good news comes days after it was revealed that Shanghai are
prepared to sell Odion Ighalo and have put a £15m valuation on the
player.

The publication also disclosed that while the club are ready to sign
Ighalo permanently they are also looking at negotiating an extension of
the loan with Shenhua if the Premier League season which is on hold
until the end of April continues into June because of the coronavirus
pandemic.

Since signing for the club in the January transfer window, the
Nigerian striker has scored four goals in his first eight matches for
Manchester United.

Earlier this month, Manchester United coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer
hinted that United were interested in making Ighalo’s move permanent.

‘He will improve and get better,’ said the United boss. 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.’
