Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has welcomed new signing Odion Ighalo.

Ighalo joins on loan from Shanghai Greenland Shenhua until the end of the season.

Speaking about the loan deal, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer said: “Odion is an experienced player. He will come in and give us an option of a different type of centre-forward for the short spell he's staying with us.

“A great lad and very professional, he will make the most of his time here."

Speaking in 2016, Ighalo admitted that United would be a dream move for him as a lifelong supporter of the Reds.

“They were my team growing up," he was quoted. “I loved watching Andy Cole and Dwight Yorke on TV. They were my idols and playing at Old Trafford has always been a dream."
