Manchester United Fans Give Solution To Odion Ighalo Problem

Odion Ighalo is set to leave Manchester United at the end of the week following the expiration of his loan deal at Old Trafford.

But fans have made it clear that they want the club to sign Odion Ighalo or another striker permanently this summer.

The 30-year-old will likely return to parent club Shanghai Shenhua at the end of the week as they are keen for the striker to return for the start of the Chinese Super League, likely to be in late June or early July.

United are keen to keep Ighalo for the rest of the campaign and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer told MUTV on Tuesday that United are still hopeful a deal can be reached.

The prospect of losing Ighalo hasn’t gone down well among many Man United fans.
MEN Sport asked supporters: “With Odion Ighalo likely to leave United this week, what should the club’s striker plans be in the transfer window?”

The poll winner with 47.1 per cent of the 1,266 votes was to sign him permanently, with many fans clearly believing that Ighalo has done enough to earn another chance at the club in his eight appearances.

Then 39.9 per cent said they would like to see the club recruit a different new striker, while 13 per cent of the voters said United should stick with their current attacking options.
