Man Utd: Ighalo goal praised by Solskjaer after LASK win
When Manchester United signed Odion Ighalo on loan on transfer deadline day, many were sceptical. How had the club resorted to signing a 30-year-old on loan from the Chinese Super League? Well those doubters have since been silenced with the Nigeria international enjoying a spectacular start to his Old Trafford career.

Solskjaer himself has hinted that he could sign Ighalo permanently amid the Nigerian’s fine form.
"Odion has done really well since he came in and he's enjoying himself,” he said.
“And he will improve and get better but he has qualities we saw in him and we needed and we will still need those qualities for next season, so let's see what we will do.
"He's a goalscorer and a striker, he doesn't worry too much about all that nonsense; build-up play—that's a joke, obviously.
"He knows his job and what his role in the team is, and he's very good with his back to goal, great link player, but maybe the best thing about him is his personality, so he's got the whole lot really."
