Manchester United in January were initially targeting Erling Haaland and Josh King in order to reinforce their attack and to provide support for the injured Marcus Rashford.
Surprisingly, they chose to sign Odion Ighalo on loan from Shanghai Shenhua on deadline day which triggered a lot of criticism from the United fans. There were questions about what Ighalo could add to the team and how effective a 30-year-old striker would be.

However, Ighalo has really impressed since his arrival, scoring four goals in eight games for the club along with some dazzling displays. This has led to talks at United about signing the striker permanently at the end of the season.
Solskjaer revealed that there are two major things he likes about Ighalo. He says that he has been impressed by the player’s attitude and impact since his arrival at Old Trafford.
Ighalo has become a popular figure in the dressing room by maintaining a good relationship with his teammates, and has also been impressive on the pitch. Ighalo will hope to help his team when the English Premier League resumes despite the possibility of the return of Rashford.
