Premier League club Manchester United have decided to adopt a new transfer strategy ahead of this summer’s transfer window which is some months away.
According to The Athletic, Manchester United reached an agreement over a new transfer direction after the events of the January winter transfer market.
Manchester United had to take a look at 11 players in January before they arrived at Odion Ighalo in their search for central striker cover for the injured Marcus Rashford.
They were linked with the likes of Bournemouth star Josh King who’s a former Manchester United player plus the likes of Norwich City striker Teemu Pukki, Southampton attacker Danny Ings and many more before the Red Devils opted for Ighalo.
Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo was with Shanghai Shenhua in China before his loan transfer to Manchester United till this summer was confirmed.
