Nigerian international and Shanghai Shenhua striker, Odion Ighalo is looking more likely to be a Manchester United player when the season resumes.
Ighalo whose loan deal expires today Sunday, May 31, is set to remain in Manchester United in a loan extension.
Manchester United is seeking to seal a last-minute deal with the Chinese club, Shanghai Shenhua as the club’s executive chairman Ed Woodward is in frantic talks with Shanghai Shenhua hoping a deal can be agreed to keep Ighalo at Old Trafford until the end of the year.
According to the reports that emanated Sunday, Ighalo’s parent club Shanghai Shenhua are interested in negotiating a new loan contract with Manchester United after being paid £3m for his initial loan deal. Negotiations are now centred around an extension until the new year.
According to goal.com, ”while sources say there is hope and confidence a deal can be found between all parties, the extension has yet to be fully agreed upon as the deadline ticks closer.”
Recall that Ighalo arrived United on loan on the final day of the January transfer window.
