“It’s so hard to see this dream come to an end. But I give God the glory for helping me fulfill this life long dream of putting on a Manchester United shirt as a player and represent this great club, it was indeed an honor I will forever cherish and be grateful for,” he said in a social media post on Tuesday night.
Ighalo joined United on loan in dramatic fashion on deadline day in January 2020 before extending his deal in June. This loan is set to officially expire on January 31.
The former Watford player thanked United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjær for “believing in me when many did not”, adding he would miss his teammates.
Pledging loyalty to the club, he said: “I’m still and would remain a MANCHESTER UNITED FAN forever. Once a Red, always a Red🔴
Thank you @manchesterunited and God bless.”
