Breaking!! Ighalo makes personal request on future

Former Super Eagle Striker, Odion Ighalo has made a personal request to extend his contract at Manchester United from Shanghai Shenhua.

The striker’s loan deal at Old Trafford expires on Sunday and so far talks to extend it between United and the Chinese Super League Shanghai Shenhua side have failed to provide a resolution.

But Ighalo is desperate to finish the season with the club, having made a positive impact in his eight appearances to date, and he’s asked Shanghai Shenhua to allow him to stay put until United’s campaign is completed, with the former Nigerian striker aware this is probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to represent the club that means so much to him.

Ighalo signed a four-month loan deal on the final day of the transfer window and the original terms would have taken the Nigerian until the end of United’s season.
