Ighalo can’t turn down permanent deal at Manchester United – Merson

The ex-Super Eagles striker is reportedly nearing a permanent contract at Old Trafford after settling in well at the club

Former Arsenal defender Paul Merson is confident Odion Ighalo will accept a permanent offer to remain at Manchester United after his loan spell.

The 30-year-old has been impressive for the Red Devils since his temporary signing from Chinese Super League outfit Shanghai Shenhua in January.

Ighalo has returned four goals in three starts for Manchester United so far, and the ex-Premier League star believes he has been 'outstanding' in Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's team despite his limited playing time.
