Manchester United are scrambling today to find an agreement with Shanghai Shenhua about a new deal for Odion Ighalo.

The Daily Star says United are negotiating with Shanghai Shenua over an extension to Ighalo's loan deal at Old Trafford.

The striker arrived in January on a deal until the summer, but the season's interruption due to the coronavirus crisis has left his future up in the air.

The 31-year-old Nigeria international is contracted with United until May 31, meaning his spell in Manchester would end at the end of today.

Back at the end of January, it was understandably expected that the Red Devils' season would have ended by now.

But the prolonged campaign will run on until at least the end of July, while United are also set to compete in the latter knockout stages of the Europa League in August.

Ighalo is wanted back in China but discussions are taking place between United and Shanghai Shenhua over the goalscorer's immediate future.
