Manchester United have reportedly been offered the chance to sign Shanghai Shenhua forward Odion Ighalo.

With less than 36 hours remaining before the end of the January transfer window, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is becoming increasingly desperate in his search for a short-term replacement for the injured Marcus Rashford.

However, The Mirror claims that United have been presented with the opportunity to bring in Ighalo until the end of the season.

The report claims that the former Watford man is on his way back to Europe ahead of potentially sealing a move to a new club.

Since leaving the Hornets for China in 2017, the Nigeria international has contributed 46 goals from 62 appearances for Changchun Yatai and Shenhua.

While Ighalo remains an option, the agent of Vedat Muriqi has insisted that the Fenerbahce forward will not be moving to Old Trafford.
