Odion Ighalo wants to move to Manchester United, and the club need a striker. It’s the perfect match, right?
Watford’s top scorer is hot property right now after finding the net 14 times in 20 Premier League games – one fewer than joint-top scorers Romelu Lukaku and Jamie Vardy.
When you consider the struggles of Wayne Rooney and Anthony Martial in front of goal, it makes perfect sense for the United fan to join his boyhood club. If the price is right, at least.
The infographic below, from fantasy football game Oulala, shows the true extent of the gulf between the Nigerian and the Old Trafford duo.
Not only is Ighalo’s goal tally nearly double that of Rooney and Martial combined, but his shot accuracy far outstrips the pair.
What’s more, the 26-year-old has scored twice as often as Rooney and nearly four times as often as Martial, while he has taken more shots than the two Red Devils put together.
