The deal to bring the
30-year-old Nigeria international to Old Trafford contains no option to buy.
Manchester United have
signed former Watford striker and Nigerian international, Odion Ighalo from
Shanghai Shenhua on loan until the end of the season.
Ighalo, who is still in
China but is expected to fly to the UK in the next few days, scored 39 goals in
99 matches for Watford between 2014 and 2017, BBC reports.
He then moved to the
Chinese Super League, first with Changchun Yatai.
After two seasons he moved
to Shanghai Shenhua and has scored 10 times in 19 games.
His form for his country
has been eye-catching, finishing as top scorer in African Cup of Nations
qualifying with seven goals, before scoring five at the tournament during the
summer.
