'He has qualities… and we will still need those qualities next season': Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says Manchester United will try to sign Odion Ighalo permanently after his fourth goal in eight games

Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer says the club will try to sign Odion Ighalo on a permanent basis after the striker scored his fourth goal in eight games on Thursday evening.

The Nigerian continued his excellent start to life at United with a fine solo effort in the 5-0 Europa League victory over LASK in Austria, a game played in front of no fans due to the coronavirus pandemic.

Ighalo controlled a delightful through ball from Bruno Fernandes brilliantly, before taking three touches in the air and rifling an effort into the net off the underside of the bar.
