Manchester United have reportedly agreed to extend Odion Ighalo’s loan deal at Old Trafford until next year.

Ighalo joined the Red Devils on the final day of the January transfer window and he had scored four goals in eight appearances before football was halted due to coronavirus.

His current deal at Shenua runs out in December 2022 and he will be expected to sign a contract offer until the end of 2024 worth £400,000 a week.

He will now miss the majority of the 2020 Chinese Super League season, which is scheduled to begin in June.

Shanghai’s original stance was that they would only agree to extend his loan if an obligation to buy was incorporated into the deal, with Ighalo likely to cost upwards of £20m.
