Manchester United have turned their attention to Odion Ighalo in their increasingly frantic search for a striker after Bournemouth wanted £40million for Josh King.

United are now focusing on other forwards on their shortlist with ex-Watford striker Ighalo, 30, now under serious consideration as the clock ticks towards tonight’s 11pm deadline.
Ighalo left the Premier League for China three years ago and has, most recently, been at Shanghai Greenland Shenhua.
