The English club, Manchester United are set to lose their loaned striker, Odion Ighalo as his parent Chinese club, Shanghai Shenhua orders him to return for full training with the club at the end of this month, when his loan deal with Manchester United expires.
The striker joined Manchester United on the 31st of January with a loan move till the end of the season.
However, Ighalo will be forced to return to China for the start of the Chinese Football League season unless United are willing to make full contract negotiations with Shanghai Shenhua.
According to Gistmania, it was covered that Ighalo wanted to stay at Manchester United despite receiving a lower salary than what he used to at Shanghai.
Shanghai Shenhua have rejected United’s request to keep Ighalo at Old Trafford for another three months.
According to Daily mail, it was said that Shanghai have the final say and are determined to get Ighalo back, having offered the former Watford player a two-year contract extension until 2024 on improved terms of £400,000 a week.
United paid a £3m loan fee for Ighalo at the end of January and have also been contributing £130,000 to his weekly wages, even though they haven’t played in two-and-a-half months.
Having initially taken him on loan until May 31, they want to keep Ighalo until the end of August when the season is now expected to finish, but Shanghai have
refused to budge in negotiations.!
