The former Premier League star believes the signing of the Nigerian forward from China shows how far the Red Devils have fallen behind
Former Chelsea and Leeds United forward Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink said Odion Ighalo’s move to Old Trafford highlights the difference between Manchester United and Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester City.
The Red Devils completed a late loan move for Ighalo from Shanghai Shenhua on transfer deadline day as they strengthened their attacking options after losing Marcus Rashford to injury.
Prior to the deal, the Nigerian forward was in Shanghai with the rest of his teammates preparing for their AFC Champions League opener after scoring 10 goals in 17 league appearances last year.
