​Man Utd shelve striker plans after Ighalo signing

Manchester United are happy with their striking options for the coming season.

The Red Devils were expected to spend money on a centre-forward when the window opened.

But with Chelsea close to securing Timo Werner, United have not gone in for the German.

And ESPNreports that it is because they no longer want a striker.

United have Odion Ighalo on loan until January 2021, while Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Mason Greenwood can also play as a no.9.

The Red Devils want to ensure they are spending money wisely in the summer.

And they have key targets in other positions, which include Borussia Dortmund's Jadon Sancho.
