MANCHESTER, UNITED KINGDOM - Ole Gunnar Solskjaer insists new signing Odion Ighalo does not need to know his Manchester United team-mates to be an instant hero at Chelsea on Monday.

"Well, it didn't take me too long. I didn't have a training session to come on and score!" Solskjaer said on Friday. "We've kept in touch with him and of course we've done our own programme, he's done his, and it was always going be a case of him having to integrate having been out in China."He's been working really hard and pinching himself at times at joining his favourite club at the age of 30. But he's earned that one and hopefully he impresses us so we can see him play."

"We needed another forward and when we got the chance to get Odion on a loan that was for us - he's a goalscorer, he was top scorer at the Africa Cup of Nations last summer so he can help the club," Solskjaer said.
