June 1 (Reuters) - Manchester United have extended striker
Odion Ighalo's loan from Shanghai Shenhua until the end of
January 2021, the Premier League club said on Monday.
The 30-year-old made an impressive start to life at United,
scoring four times in eight games after signing an initial loan
deal until May 31 from the Chinese Super League club.
Ighalo's current deal with Shanghai runs out in December
2022 and he is expected to sign a new contract until the end of
2024, Sky reported.
The Nigerian, who has scored two goals apiece for Man United
in the Europa League and FA Cup, will hope to open his account
in the Premier League when the season, suspended since March due
to the COVID-19 pandemic, resumes on June 17.
