Man Utd complete shock loan signing of former Watford striker Ighalo

Ighalo has two seasons of Premier League experience, having played for Watford between 2014 and 2017, and is an established Nigeria international. How soon he can travel to Manchester is complicated by China’s coronavirus crisis though the upcoming winter break that runs for a fortnight after the weekend’s round of games may mean Ighalo’s unavailability is not an issue. United had an initial offer for the 28-year-old turned down but were given reason to believe an increased bid could succeed when Eddie Howe said morning that, much as he did not want to lose King, the decision on whether to sell was not in his hands. Slideshow: Bruno Fernandes's first Man Utd training session (Manchester Evening News) Bournemouth’s manager also indicated that King, who was with United as a youngster but made only one first-team appearance, was keen to return to Old Trafford. “It’s going to be between the chief executive and the owner of the football club and that’s why I said at the start I don’t want to go too deep into it because a lotof these things are out of my control. Solskjær, asked why the midfielder was not bought in summer, said: “It’s about timings, priorities and also valuation, money.” Solskjær confirmed Fernandes would be in Saturday’s squad for the visit of Wolves.
