So amidst suggestions their pursuit of Bournemouth’s Josh King has come to an end, it appears Manchester United are still interested in securing the services of a striker.
The Athletic’s David Ornstein has revealed that a loan deal is still possible for the Red Devils, and that his sources have suggested former Watford man Odion Ighalo could be that man.

The Nigerian is currently plying his trade in the Chinese Super League, and after hearing about the links to the forward, United fans took to Twitter to voice their thoughts on the situation.
A couple of fans revealed their disappointment at how far the club have fallen with their links to Ighalo.
Another couple of supporters insisted that there would be no point in bringing Ighalo in, with one fan in particular saying they would rather sign no-one.
As the time ticks on, things are beginning to get more and more desperate for United. The injury to Marcus Rashford has meant a new forward simply has to be on the agenda for the Red Devils, so it’s little surprise to see them explore all avenues for one.
What could’ve been… Can you name the clubs these football legends almost joined?
A loan swoop for Ighalo would make sense certainly in the short-term, and so if they can get it over the line, then it would certainly be a shrewd piece of business to bring in a former Premier League striker.
Meanwhile, Manchester United fans discuss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s major deadline day update.
