Clubs in Qatar and Saudi Arabia are eyeing former Super Eagles of Nigeria and Manchester United striker, Odion Ighalo. This, according to reports.

Ighalo's current deal at Manchester United expires on January 31 and the 31-year-old is believed to be open to other offers, despite his parent club, Shanghai Shenhua expecting him back in early February.

Ighalo, whose initial four-month loan deal at Old Trafford was extended in June 2020, has not started a Premier League match for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's side and has made just four appearances for the Red Devils this season.

His first-team opportunities have been reduced with the arrival of Edinson Cavani in October 2020.

Manchester United host Manchester City in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup on Wednesday.
