ODION IGHALO TO MISS MACHESTER UNITED TRIP TO SPAIN

Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo who recently signed a six month loan contract with Manchester United will miss the club trip to Spain because of Coronavirus scare

Pivotsports confirmed statement, the club said: “The club can also confirm that, due to the current situation in China, it has been decided that new signing Odion Ighalo will not travel to Spain as it is not guaranteed that he’d clear UK immigration on return should border restrictions tighten on travellers who’ve been in China within the past 14 days.”

United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer added: “Odion will stay in Manchester, because he arrived from China in the last 14 days.

“Because of the situation in China, we’re not sure if he’d be allowed back into England if he leaves the country again, so he’s staying here working with a personal coach, individual programme and his family then can settle in England as well.

“Of course he might have liked to have come with the players and got to know them, but the risk [of potential border restrictions tightening], we don’t want to take that.”
