Odion Ighalo and Islam Slimani are two of a number of players Manchester United have looked at as they try to bring in a striker on loan following the long-term injury to Marcus Rashford. Former Watford forward Ighalo is with Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua and has two years left on his contract while Slimani is on loan at Monaco from Leicester. And it's not going to be like eight players in or 10 players in one transfer window," he said. "We've had one proper transfer window in the summer because the Januarys are difficult, but we are trying to do something now." Marcus Rashford's injury has certainly left Manchester United even lighter up front following Romelu Lukaku's departure in the summer.
