The Nigerian striker is set to return to Shanghai Shenhua at the end of the month.
Ighalo says that playing for United is a memory he will cherish for the rest of his life.
He also thanks Solskjaer for giving him the opportunity to impress.
Odion Ighalo wrote on Instagram: “It’s so 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.
“To the Manager, I say thank you for trusting and believing in me when many did not, to my amazing teammates I will miss you guys, it was always fun and a time I look forward to training and spending time with all of you. And I pray we win the LEAGUE and FA cup this year.
“To the best fans in the world ( the Manchester United fans ) we have missed you, but we hear your voices cheering us on from afar, we can’t wait to have you all back on the stands.
“I’m still and would remain a MANCHESTER UNITED FAN forever. Once a Red, always a Red. Thank you @manchesterunited and God bless.”

The Nigerian striker has made 23 appearances for the Red Devils, scoring 5 goals and registered 1 assist in his memorable short stint. His loan deal will expire at the end of January and he’ll return to Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua next month.
