Merson: Ighalo could cost Solskjaer Man Utd job

Arsenal title winner Paul Merson believes Odion Ighalo could lead to Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer losing his job.

Writing in his column for the Daily Star, Merson said: "Odion Ighalo could be the final straw at Manchester United.

"If that signing is a disaster then Ed Woodward and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer are in big trouble.

"Don't get me wrong. He could rediscover the form he once he had at Watford and be a huge success. But he could be the biggest laughing stock the Premier League has ever seen.

"Only time will tell.

"But remember, the last time he was here he only scored once in 18 games before Watford sold him and he'll have gotten lazy playing in China."
