That can't be true. We've just signed Odion fecking Ighalo, a Watford reject. Truly desperate times.

If he scores 30 in half a season he shouldn't be bought? Jesus wept! What reality do these posters live in?
He scored against the scousers with Watford a couple of times, thats good enough for me
He made Blind have the worse game he's ever had for us when they played us at Old Trafford.
Watch us sign him then infect the entire squad with coronavirus, it’ll be like the 80’s all over again with Whiteside and McGrath on the piss but with limes.
So the £300,000 a week was false.
We're signing a player who can play in the PL and has done well here before, in a position we're severely lacking bodies in? The whole deal is costing £5m in total for 6 months. Why is this a bad deal? Because he plays in China? Atletico Madrid just loaned Carassco back from China for 6 months too, guess they're also desperate?
Inter and Tottenham wanted him on loan but he chose United, are you aware of that?
How do you think this will impact Greenwood and Martial, now that they know there's a mature pro around the place that's there to lighten their goal burden?
Try not to be outraged about everything, you'll feel a whole lot better.
Well, alright then. Despite my earlier comments, now that he´ll be wearing red, I´ll give him my full support and a real chance to prove his worth. We desperately needed a back-up striker, and I´m just relieved we got one.
We missed out on signing him in 2015 and missed out on top 4, hopefully this time he helps us finish top 4.
do you want a bag to breathe into?Surely he'll have to be checked for the coronavirus if nothing?No medical?
We’ve signed him on loan. It’s risk free.
Also, he was decent at Watford and they got £20m for him, hardly a reject
Genius by United. No defender will want to get near him . He'll cut through defenses like butter as they avoid getting the corona virus.No medical?
That escalated quicker than an argument with Billy Blaggs.
Two in is better than one. Here's hoping he can come in and do a good job. Welcome Ighalo!

Inter, Barcelona and Tottenham must be equally as clueless and deluded as we are. or maybe, football clubs know more than random guy on Internet
or maybe, football clubs know more than random guy on Internetpretty happy with that. Short-time help, takes pressure off Greenwood and should be a good option from the bench. I'll take that over an overpriced King deal any day.
I’m finding it hard to get my head around this. The only real positive is I think he is a massive Man Utd fan and he will give his all for the club.
There are over 100 confirmed cases there, and it is only 4 hours away from Wuhan via train so I think he may need to be but am probably wrong.
no, he’s on 300k in China. We’re paying a third of it for 6 months
What odds that he isn't out of quarantine and match fit before Rashford is ready to play again?
This is going to be my new favourite thread to revisit when he scores.
Why didnt we sign Ronaldo? Or Messi? Or Salah? How we have fallen....
Jesus, calm down. It’s a cheap loan deal and the Chinese league has several very good players. Barcelona signed a 29 year old Paulinho from there and he did great for Barca.
Ok, just hope to push the lie that we're paying the entire £300,000 a week
We definitely needed a striker after Rashford got injured but I'm really sceptical whether Ighalo is the answer. I've not seen any of his games after he left Watford but looking at his clips in China he looks really poor. Looks like he lost some pace and technically he looks lacking.
Can we send him to train with the scousers first, just in case he does have the virus?
No, because he's not coming from Wuhan (or Hubei province in general). There's no restrictions on other flights out of China (e.g. from Beijing, Shanghai, etc.), except that quite a few airlines have cancelled flights because of the massive and understandable reduction in demand due to people cancelling their trips. One of my friends flew back from Beijing to the UK yesterday without any hassle other than a few extra temperature checks for fever.
Surely this is a case where United will throw money at some top doctors to give him the all clear ASAP?
Some of the hysterical reactions on here, astonishing.
Why are people crying about a loan to address our injury issues?
I don't think Britain is quarenteening people coming from other parts of China yet? Or are they?
Let me have this one
A Watford reject?
This forum is filled with so much bullshit these days.I'm guessing the club needs a home office clearance before even having him fly into the country.
Haha, ‘reject’ you know. Their best fecking player at the time.
