Man United haven’t given up hope of securing Odion Ighalo extension

Although it may only be a temporary reprieve, United haven’t given up hope of trying to get an extension to Ighalo’s contract

The coronavirus situation has put paid to any hopes the Red Devils had of signing the player permanently, but with Marcus Rashford almost back to full fitness, that isn’t the disaster it might otherwise have been.

Moreover, it would appear that Ighalo’s parent club, Shanghai Shenhua, aren’t interested in selling the player per BBC Sport.

With just a few games left of the 2019/20 campaign remaining, however, BBC Sport suggest that United will explore any opportunity to keep Ighalo until the end of the season.
