On the last day of the January transfer window, Manchester United were able to add a striker to their front line. Odion Ighalo will return to the Premier League, where he previously played for Watford, after an experience at Shanghai Shenhua- the Nigerian attacker's agent Patrick Bastianelli described the frantic negotiation in an interview with Sky Sport:"These deals come down to the last minute. Luckily the different time zones played in our favor. In the end everything materialized and we have great satisfaction"
This move was quite special for Ighalo:"This is a great opportunity for him- Bastianelli said- Manchester United is the club he always dreamed of sine he was a child. Now he was able to get here and he will do all he can be redeemed in July. He has all the qualities to make an impact at United. He has great ability to adapt as he did in Spain, China and Nigerian national team. Now he goes back to the Premier League with the Red Devils kit"
