Ighalo set for Man Utd debut against Chelsea, Solskjaer confirms

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed that Odion Ighalo will be included in Manchester United's squad to face Chelsea next Monday.

Ighalo signed for the Red Devils on a six-month loan deal from Shanghai Shenhua on deadline day, realising a life-long dream in the process.
