Ighalo has struggled for game time this season and the arrival of Uruguayan forward Edison Cavani means the former Nigerian striker could slip further down into the pecking order.
The experienced striker has been included in the squad for the Champions League game away to PSG and speaking ahead of the game, Solskjaer reiterated striker remains an integral part of the squad.
“As a club, we always want to get players in and also give them time to adapt”.
“We had some very good performances by Odion and he is still a very important part of the club,” he said.
