The 31-year-old’s dream loan spell at Manchester United will end by the end of January, but could any top flight side trust the ex-Watford man?
It was almost a year ago that Odion Ighalo made the Deadline Day switch in January to join dream club Manchester United till the end of the season.
The enforced coronavirus break, however, led to an extension of the striker’s loan from Shanghai Shenhua, which ultimately proved to be the 31-year-old’s undoing.
Admittedly, rejecting the offer to stay at the club he’s loved almost all his life was probably never going to happen but, despite staying an extra six months with the Red Devils, lockdown in March was the worst thing that could have happened to the Nigerian.
