Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo started his short holiday with a boat cruise on Tuesday, two days after the Premier League season ended.
The 31-year-old was an unused substitute as the Red Devils secured qualification for the 2020-21 UEFA Champions League after defeating Leicester City 2-0 at King Power Stadium on Sunday.
Ighalo, who joined Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team on loan from Shanghai Shenhua in January, played 90 minutes of football for United in 11 Premier League appearances, which all came as a substitute.
Despite his restricted playing time in the league, the ex-Super Eagles forward has been a key force for Solskjaer in the Europa League, where he has scored two goals in three matches.
Ahead of Manchester United’s return fixture against LASK in the secondary European competition on August 5, Ighalo decided to enjoy his time on a boat and soak up the sun in an unspecified location.
Prior to the suspension of football activities in March because of the coronavirus, Ighalo scored a goal and assisted another as the Red Devils sealed a 5-0 win against their Austrian opponents in the first leg.
Ighalo will be aiming to make his first start for United since March 12 when they welcome LASK to Old Trafford next Wednesday.
