Manchester United supporters are disappointed with news going round in the media that Odion Ighalo would be leaving the club on Friday.

English tabloids reported that the on-loan forward is set to return to his parent club Shanghai Shenhua after the Chinese Super League side turning the other loan approach from the Red Devils.

The player joined his boyhood team on a six loan back in January and immediately became the fans favorite after hitting four goals in eight appearances before the season was abandoned amidst coronavirus pandemic.

However United fans are disappointed about the potential departure of the Nigerian and many of them have taken to their social media accounts to pay tribute to the 2019 African cup of Nations goal king.

Jeremiah Jacob wrote: “I don’t want the guy to go, just like guy spirit and right attitude”.

Another Twitter user with the name Otniel Gowasebe said: “Please come back and retire with us one”.

Abdel Rahman also tweeted: “If this is Ighalo’s last week as United player, I’d to say thank you for the memories & the infectious positive attitude.  I’m glad you got to fulfill your dream. You’re part of United’s history now, Manchester United 19/20 cult hero – @ighalojude.
