SAN FRANCISCO, May 31, (THEWILL) – According to reports, the Red Devils are on the verge of reaching a deal with Chinese Super League club, Shannghai Shenua to extend Odion Ighalo’s loan deal.
United and Shenua remain in talks and it is believed that an agreement can be reached before Ighalo’s current loan deal expires on Sunday.
The proposed loan extension will end in January next year and then, Ighalo will return to Shanghai and he is likely to miss the majority of the 2020 Chinese Super League season, which will start in June.
United manager, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, believes that the club can extend Ighalo’s loan so that he can “finish off what he started”.

“The loan deal went until the end of May now, so obviously he’s supposed to be going back,” Solskjaer told MUTV earlier this week.
He added: “We’re in dialogue. They’ve been great towards us, his club, and allowed him to play for his dream club.
“It’s been a dream for him and hopefully he can finish off what he started, hopefully with a trophy for us. At the moment, nothing has been agreed. Their league is going to get started soon so we’re just waiting to see.”
