In his previous spell in England with Watford, Ighalo was allocated the number 24 kit.
Meanwhile, he hass played as the No. 9 for his clubs since moving to the Chinese Super League in 2017.
Previous players to have worn that number for United are Antonio Valencia, Nick Powell, Danny Simpson, Quinton Fortune and Jordi Cruyff.
