At the same time, United fans continued to react to the January transfer of Odion Ighalo shortly after he was
given the No 25 squad number, which has been available since Antonio Valencia left the club last summer.
United posted a picture of Ighalo holding his new jersey on Tuesday night and fans were quick to share their views about the club’s latest striker.
“Better than Lacazette, Aubameyang and Martinelli combined. Nigerian R9,” one fan said.
While another added: “He’s here and he’s perfect.”
A third said: “Second half of the season, we’re doing a title charge!”
One fan thinks Ighalo and the club’s other January signing, Bruno Fernandes, who signed for £47million from Sporting Lisbon, are going to complement each other on the field.
I always saw the number 25 as an opportunity to work beyond my dreams. It has been my inspiration and became my amulet. I wish you all the success now with this shirt brother! pic.twitter.com/B8f7iE32QN

“Ighalo and Bruno are going to create special moments,” they said.
While another was happy that Ighalo, who is a boyhood United fan, will be playing for his team.
“Really pleased to see everyone getting behind him. Loves the club and I’m sure he’ll give everything to make it a successful 6 months. Good to have you here Odion,” they said.
Although Ighalo has spent three seasons playing in China, the 30-year-old does have Premier League experience having spent two seasons in the English top flight with Watford.
The Nigerian international took the league by storm in his debut season in the Premier League in 2015/16, when he scored 16 goals in 37 games for Watford.
However, in his second campaign he wasn’t as successful and he only managed to find the back of the net on one occasion in 18 appearances for the Hornets.
