Manchester United fans are hopeful Odion Ighalo has all the attributes to be a perfect short-term addition at the club after the Nigerian striker signed in a six-month loan deal.
Ighalo, 30, joins from Shanghai Shenhua on loan until the end of the season. He will initially be tasked with providing cover for Marcus Rashford's injury and offering competition to the likes of Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood.
United explored the chance to sign Bournemouth's Josh King on a permanent deal earlier on deadline day, with the temporary deal for Ighalo sealed close to the 11pm deadline.
While the transfer will raise eyebrows given Ighalo's recent spell in China and his age, fans felt that his record in the Premier League while at Watford means he can be a success at United.
Ighalo scored 40 goals with 11 assists in 100 appearances for Watford as part of his overall record of 131 goals and 26 assists in 322 career appearances. For Nigeria, Ighalo has 16 goals in 34 caps.
As the deal was announced, supporters took to Twitter to praise the signing and welcome Ighalo to Old Trafford.
