Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has praised the club's on-loan forward Odion Ighalo and hinted they may look to bring the striker back next season.

Ighalo continued his impressive start to life at United on Thursday, scoring a brilliant goal for the team in a 5-0 win at LASK in the UEFA Europa League.

While some eyebrows were raised when the Red Devils signed the former Watford man, the striker has proved critics wrong and has already netted four goals for his new club. Solskjaer has said the type of qualities he brings to the team will be needed at Old Trafford next season:

"Odion has done really well since he came in and he's enjoying himself.
