‘He is a proven goalscorer’ – Solskjaer lauds Ighalo’s impact against Norwich City

Odion Ighalo is looming as a crucial figure in Manchester United’s attacking setup with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer praising the striker as a proven goalscorer.

The 31-year-old continued his excellent form with a goal as the Red Devils saw off Norwich City 2-1 after extra-time in Saturday’s FA Cup quarter-final game.

After a goalless first-half at Carrow Road, Ighalo handed the visitors the lead in the 51st minute with his first shot of the game to seal Luke Shaw’s fine attacking move.
