Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said January signing Odion Ighalo is ready to make his Red Devils debut against Chelsea on Monday but the game will come too soon for Scott McTominay.

Ighalo made the shock move on loan from Shanghai Greenland Shenhua to the Premier League on transfer deadline day as cover for injured striker Marcus Rashford.

Solskjaer told reporters Ighalo will be in his matchday squad even though he has not trained with his new Manchester United team-mates yet:

"As a striker, you get thrown on out there and it might be he'll have to come off the bench and give us a goal.
