Eidur Gudjohnsen, a former Chelsea player, feels as Manchester United now don’t attract anymore big name players.
Manchester United had hoped to sign now Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland, but plans fell through at the last moment, when he switched to the German side.
So new Man United striker Ighalo presented as the solution to their problems. However – Manchester United could have signed more or much better players.
Have United gone beyond repair? To that, according to Sky Sports, Gudjohnsen said: “It comes back to the time of the season of this [Ighalo] transfer as well. I don’t think any of the best strikers are available.”
He added: “I don’t think any of the best strikers are eager to join United anymore.”
Ighalo that way is rather lucky to be picked up by Man United, however, it seems as though Manchester United might not have had much of a choice in the end.
“He must be the luckiest man! Going to China, being away from Europe nobody seeing him for two and a half years since he was at Watford and then getting a loan move at United,” he said.
“Wow. That doesn’t happen!
“It says how far behind United are from Liverpool, Manchester City and even Chelsea. They have got a big job ahead.
“They needed somebody in. I think he was not their number one and I would be surprised if he was their number two or three as well.
“He is getting an opportunity and he will definitely get minutes and we will see if he can do it.”
