Every journalist/reporter is stating the same thing:
• Odion Ighalo not in long term plans
• Signing doesn't fit the transfer policy
• Reaction to short term issue [injury]
• Not many options despite reports#mufc wanted a forward for the rest of the season & no further.— ً (@utdrobbo) January 31, 2020
