Man Utd agree Odion Ighalo loan extension as striker to stay at Old Trafford until January

Premier League football will return after a 100-day absence on June 17 after the government green-lighted their Project Restart proposals to resume the 2019-20 season after it was halted by the coronavirus pandemic.

We can now report via James Robson that Odion Ighalo will be staying at Manchester United, with the Red Devils agreeing a six-month loan extension with Shanghai Shenhua.

The striker's loan expired on Sunday, but United have finally reached a breakthrough - and it is thought that the new deal will run until January 2021.

As expected, Manchester United have confirmed that Odion Ighalo is staying at Old Trafford until January 31, 2021.

That is a huge boost for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, and takes the pressure off United spending big on a new forward in the summer window.
