Valencia wishes Ighalo success in Manchester United’s No. 25 shirt

Antonio Valencia has wished new Manchester United signing Odion Ighalo all the best after he was handed the No. 25 shirt.

The Nigerian striker completed a shock loan move to Old Trafford from Chinese Super League side Shanghai Shenhua on transfer deadline day.

On Tuesday, the former Watford man was handed the No. 25 shirt, which became vacant after the departure of Valencia to LDU Quito in 2019.

The 34-year-old has taken to the social media to reflect on how the shirt served as a source of inspiration to him and wished his successor well.
