The former Watford striker could make his debut for his new club when United travel to Chelsea on February 17.

Ighalo insists he will make the most of his opportunity at Old Trafford.

He told Sky Sports: “It’s a dream come true because since I was a kid I followed and dreamt of Manchester United.

“But it is a reality now. I cannot say much more now until I get started. It’s been crazy. Obviously, I am happy to be in Manchester first of all.

“This is a great opportunity for me and I am grateful to God, and to my agent, and the coach who has given me this opportunity to be here.

“I am happy to be here and to work out with the team and finish very well this season. The plan is to just chill today because I travelled a very long way from Shanghai to Manchester.

“Today is to just rest and tomorrow we start to work.”
