The reason why we wanted Haland is because Ole wants Martial to have a competition.
Shanghai decided to place £20m on Ighalo according to lot of sources. Ighalo is going to turn 31 years old next season and his contract is going to be expired next year 2021. It doesn't make sense for United to pay such a money on him. If they are going to play hard then we should fall to their hand and change to a new target.
This might be unpopular opinion, making sure that we have another striker to push Martial or compete with Martial (let's say we fail to sign Ighalo) is more important than signing right winger this summer. Striker score goals, if we struggle to score in a match, we need an alternative from the bench. People will talk about Greenwood, but his current level wasn't good enough to challenge Martial this season and I like his chance to get more games time on the right rather than as a lone striker in his current age.
Recently we are linked with Moussa Dembele for £60m and United is looking for to sign him cheaper than £60m.
Man Utd confident of completing £60m transfer for Lyon striker Moussa Dembele
Dembele is only 1 year younger than Martial.
19 years old at Fulham (Championship) 37 apps (6 subs) - 15 Goals
20 years old at Celtic (All Comp) 49 apps - 32 Goals
21 years old at Celtic (All Comp) 39 apps - 16 Goals
22 years old at Lyon (Ligue 1) 21 apps (12 subs) - 15 Goals
23 years old at Lyon (Ligue 1) 24 apps (3 subs) - 16 Goals
The stats is pretty good and I'll pay the money on him if we can't get Ighalo.
