Manchester United’s attacking options
Ighalo, 30, has scored four goals in eight games since arriving at Old Trafford.
The Nigerian striker was signed when Marcus Rashford was out with a long-term back injury.
However, Rashford is now back in training and available for selection when the league restarts on June 17.
Unless something changes, fans may expect that Rashford will start in United’s attack alongside Anthony Martial and Daniel James, leaving Ighalo on the bench with Mason Greenwood.
