Fans React To Odion Ighalo’s Seven Months Loan Extension With Man Utd

It was appearing increasingly likely that Odion Ighalo had played his final game for his boyhood club, but the Nigerian striker Ighalo looks set to remain at Manchester United a little longer yet.

According to Manchester Evening News report, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have been working hard to find a resolution over his contract and a deal to extend his loan is getting ever closer.

Ighalo’s parent club Shanghai Shenhua were initially keen for the 31-year-old to return to China ahead of the start of the delayed Chinese Super League season next month.

But the former Super Eagles star has made it clear that he is desperate to pursue his United dream and will be aware that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play for the club that he loves so dearly.

And it is claimed that he could now remain at Old Trafford for another seven months with his loan extended until the end of January.

This would mean as well as finishing this season, he would most likely play a part at the beginning of the next.
