Odion Ighalo’s Manchester United career is moving into the final few weeks.

The Nigerian’s loan spell expires on January 31

Despite his time soon coming to a close, Ighalo appears to be in a positive mindset and enjoy every day.

He posted this picture from the club’s latest training session on his Instagram page.

Ighalo has played just one minute of action since September.

This late appearance came against Paris Saint-Germain at Old Trafford when he was sent on in injury time.

With just seven substitutes spots permitted, Ighalo has struggled to make the bench in Premier League matches.

Ighalo will hope for some involvement in the Carabao Cup quarter-final away at Everton next week.

He started both previous matches in the competition against Luton and Brighton – although failed to score.

A busy festive schedule and a FA Cup tie at home to his former club Watford could see Ighalo make a few late appearances.

His United career may be winding down – but it is not quite over yet.
