Man Utd striker Ighalo reluctant to discuss Shanghai Shenhua plans

Odion Ighalo is reluctant to discuss publicly his contract position at Manchester United.

On-loan from Shanghai Shenhua, Ighalo's six-month loan spell could expire before action resumes, but the ex-Nigerian international is adamant that discussing his future would be insensitive.

When questioned over his contract dilemma, Ighalo told The Sun: "Talking about other things now will not only be selfish but terribly insensitive. I don't even think about it.

"The challenge before us now is not a football one, but a global one.

"You can't put football before health challenges. What matters right now is to keep safe and pray for those battling with the virus to recover fully."
