Former Red Devils captain, Antonio Valencia, has wished new signing, Odion Ighalo, luck after he inherited his shirt number at Old Trafford.
The Ecuador international spent a decade at Old Trafford, and predominantly wore the number 25 shirt, amidst a brief spell he sported the number 7.
The 34-year-old took to Twitter following the Nigerian’s loan move to United from Chinese club Shanghai Greenland Shenhua, and wrote, “I always saw the number 25 as an opportunity to work beyond my dreams. It has been my inspiration and became my amulet. I wish you all the success now with this shirt brother!”
Ighalo replied to the tweet, “Thanks brother,” alongside a heart and a praying emoji.
