Shanghai Shenhua striker Odion Ighalo offered to Man Utd

Shanghai Shenhua striker Odion Ighalo has been offered to Manchester United.

The Mirror says Ighalo is being offered to United for a last minute loan move.

Nigeria international Ighalo, 30, is currently at Chinese Super League club Shanghai Shenhua and has enjoyed a successful time in the Far East.

But the Super League has been delayed because of the coronavirus and Ighalo is understood to be flying back to Europe today and could secure a move before Friday's deadline.

Ighalo claimed last year he turned down an approach from Barcelona to be a back-up striker but could now be an option if United do decide to press ahead.

United are short of striker options with Marcus Rashford out and Alexis Sanchez out on loan.
