Man Utd boss Solskjaer sent agent to enquire about January target before Odion Ighalo deal

United meanwhile will be hoping Ighalo can help relieve some of the pressure on Mason Greenwood and Anthony Martial up front as they aim to climb into the top four.

Solskjaer’s side failed to take advantage of Chelsea’s draw with Leicester as United similarly dropped two points at home to Wolves.

United have failed to score in the three matches since Marcus Rashford was ruled out with a back injury.

The 22-year-old isn’t expected back until April, meaning the club will need to find goals from elsewhere.
