Manchester United's newest signing Odion Ighalo is training away from the first team due to coronavirus concerns following his arrival from China.
Ighalo joined United on January 31 from Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua and although the risk posed is minimal -- the city is hundreds of kilometers away from Hubei province which is at the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak -- the club has opted to take precautionary measures.United also decided against taking Ighalo on its winter break training camp in Spain due to concerns he may have difficulty re-entering the UK.
