Ighalo took to Instagram to show his appreciation to supporters after hism year-long spell at Old Trafford ended.
The striker said: “It’s hard to see this dream come to an end. But I give God the glory for helping me fulfil this life long dream of putting on a Manchester United shirt as a player and represent this great club.
“It was indeed an honour I will forever cherish and be grateful for.”
The former Watford forward joined the Red Devils, initially for six months, last January and scored five quick goals to earn an extension after the coronavirus shutdown.
However, he has barely featured this season with the Nigerian striker making just two starts.
His last appearance for the club came as a substitute in the home defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League last month.

Ighalo is still contracted at Shanghai until the end of this year but admitted recently he would be interested in playing in America.
He told ESPN: “If it’s possible I’d like to play in MLS but I have to wait to see if it’s possible.
“The league is doing well and if the opportunity arises then I’d grab it with two hands.”
