Ighalo hoping to earn extended Man Utd stay & is raring to go for Red Devils

Odion Igahlo is hoping to play his way into contention for an extended stay at Manchester United having linked up with the Red Devils on an initial loan agreement.

The Nigerian striker completed a dream switch to the club he supported as a boy on deadline day of the winter transfer window.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was in the market for another frontman and opted to bring the former Watford star back to England from Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua.

Ighalo has much to prove after seeing questions asked of his ability to make an impact at Old Trafford, but he has been a regular source of goals for club and country down the years.
