Ighalo scored United’s second and third goals to send them into the quarter-final where they will face Norwich City.
Luke Shaw opened scoring for United in the 33rd minute before the Nigerian made it 2-0 on 41 minutes.
And with 20 minutes remaining in the game, Ighalo got on the score sheet again to seal the win for United.
It was Ighalo’s first brace for an English club since netting twice against Liverpool in the colours of Watford in 2015.
He is now the second African after South Africa’s Quinton Fortune to score for United in the FA Cup.
