Is he making way for a new signing? Maybe Lewandowski or Kane on the cheap?
30th January. Fully expect the loan not to be extended.When does his loan end? We need to get rid of his wages
Had a few too many pies during the first lockdown. Has looked fat and unfit since the restart.Surely he should get a game against his old club or at least be on the bench.
I really cannot see what he has done wrong as he scored a few goals when he played.

He's been pretty shit ever since lockdown. He did well before that and it's awesome that he got that opportunity, but unfortunately he wasn't able to maintain it.Surely he should get a game against his old club or at least be on the bench.

He's been fine yeah, just should be the backup 9 at like Everton or Villa or Newcastle or starting at Brighton or West Brom instead of here.Surely he should get a game against his old club or at least be on the bench.

There have been games when Martial should have been hooked and another striker put on this season and Ighalo would have been no worse but at least he would have been freshHe's been fine yeah, just should be the backup 9 at like Everton or Villa or Newcastle or starting at Brighton or West Brom instead of here.
I'd still rather see Greenwood or Van De Beek up there, since I don't think there's a marked decrease in production (VDB might score less but would set up and defend more, Greenwood might do less than Ighalo in terms of occupying CBs or whatever but he'd move wide and open up the middle more and likely score at least as many goals).There have been games when Martial should have been hooked and another striker put on this season and Ighalo would have been no worse but at least he would have been fresh
He's got a decent floor because he works hard and gets in good positions, yeah. I do think he's a useful #9 (12 in 20 for Nigeria last 2 years) just not at this level. For some Prem side looking relegation dead in the fecking face like Brighton, Fulham (he, Mitrovic and Lookman rotating for 2 spots up top could look decent in their 3-5-2) or West Brom, or a club who needs a backup 9 for a 6 month solution like Wolves, Leeds (backing up Bamford) or Villa (Wesley is their only decent backup option for Watkins and he's probably missing at least 4-5 of the last 20 games and so might not be up to speed for closer to half and that's rehab goes well).Did Ighalo ever start a game and was as bad as martial/rashford.
I mean bad relatively to his capabilities
That goal in the Europa was one of my favourite United goals. Memorable for me.Well, This ended up being a useless loan business. He scored 5 goals and neither of them were in the league or that memorable. Was hardly used as a squad option either. He must have enjoyed his time at a club he supports and is a nice lad, but few years later I will probably struggle to even remember that he played for us.
You’re forgetting the Europa League goal at the beginning of the lockdown.Well, This ended up being a useless loan business.

Believe it or not, this is the correct attitude to have towards him; even among the 'he played his part when Rashford was injured' posts.January 2020: Man Utd is 5th, 33 pts behind Pool.
Ighalo joins for 1 year.
January 2021: Man Utd is 1st, 3 points ahead of Pool.
Ighalo leaves, his work is done.
thank you, Odion!

He scored a few goals for United as a fan which is the dream for millions of us around the world.
He scored 5 goals and helped us get a top 4 finish. Great contribution last season for a loaned playerHe scored a few goals for United as a fan which is the dream for millions of us around the world.
100%. He was also grateful to be here regardless of starting.He scored 5 goals and helped us get a top 4 finish. Great contribution last season for a loaned player
But after Cavani hit form, there was obviously no big need, either. Ighalo did well when he was needed and acted professionally - this is why he will be respected by the fans and rememberedGood luck to him. Unfortunately, our cup games were against strong teams so he didnt have the chance to participate more.
Yeah of course. But I am assuming if instead of Liverpool we were facing a 3rd division team, he would have started so to rest Cavani. It would be a nice send-off.But after Cavani hit form, there was obviously no big need, either.
