Manchester United have completed the £3million loan signing of Odion Ighalo – but the deal does not include an option to buy.
Ighalo will travel back from China in the next few days. United see him as a short-term fix to striker problems exacerbated by Marcus Rashford’s back fracture, and good value for six months.
United are set to pay just a third of Odion Ighalo’s mammoth wages during his time at Old Trafford.
United sealed the shock deal late in the evening on deadline day for the former Watford striker.
He will join Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side until the end of the season.
Striker Ighalo, 30, has just under two years left on his £300,000-per-week contract with Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua.
United have agreed a contract that will see them contribute £100,000-per-week of that figure while he is on their books.
