‘Ighalo needs a month to be sharp for Man Utd’ – Sanchez Flores calls for patience with deadline day signing

The former Watford boss, who also worked with the Nigerian in China, feels the Red Devils will need to work on the striker’s fitness and game

Odion Ighalo is going to need “one month to recover full rhythm” at Manchester United, says Quique Sanchez Flores, with the Red Devils warned that they may not have found a quick fix.

The Red Devils were left scratching around for another striker on transfer deadline day.

Several options were said to be registering on their radar, with former Watford frontman Ighalo eventually brought back from Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua on an initial loan agreement.
