Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has said the club will consider signing Odion Ighalo on a permanent basis at the end of the campaign.

The forward arrived at Old Trafford in the January transfer window in a shock loan move, adding some important depth to the attacking positions following an injury to Marcus Rashford. The 30-year-old has made five appearances for the Red Devils so far, scoring one goal.

The Nigerian is expected to be in the starting XI on Thursday, when United visit Derby County in the FA Cup fifth round.
