Jose Mourinho in January: "For me it is about time, time to work - so more transfer windows because we are not going to ever be the transfer window king."

Odion Ighalo knows the Premier League, has scored goals in the top flight and arrives at Old Trafford in good form.

The offer was rejected immediately with the Goodison Park club unwilling to sell one of their prized assets this late in the transfer window.
