Man U Extends Ighalo Loan Deal Till January 2021

Manchester United has extended Odion Ighalo loan deal until the end of January 2021, The Sun reports.
 

Manchester United’s agreement with Ighalo’s  parent club, Shanghai Shenhua, officially expired on Sunday night.

The Sun quoted The Telegraph as reporting that both sides had  now come to an agreement for the 30-year-old to stay in Manchester until the new year.

The deal will be confirmed  by the English FA before it is registered.

It is claimed Ighalo will then discuss a new contract with Shanghai Shenhua once he returns in 2021.

The news comes after his agent Atta Aneke confirmed talks were in place for the ex-Watford man to remain at Old Trafford.

Aneke told Nettavisen: “We are nearing an agreement with Manchester United on an extended loan.

“The agreement will mean that Ighalo will remain with them until January 2021.”

Ighalo swapped the Chinese Super League for the Premier League in a shock deadline day loan deal back in January.
