Manchester United have yet to make up their minds as to what to do about striker Odion Ighalo.
The 30 year old Nigerian moved to Old Trafford on deadline day in the January window on loan, but, unlike most similar arrangements, that deal comes to an end on May 31st.
The initial intention was to extend his stay at United, especially as he was starting to show some real form, scoring four goals in eight games for the club. But the suspension of football has complicated the decision, and they prefer to wait until they know if and when the Premier League will start again before offering a new deal.
However, they do not have the luxury of time on their side. With just three weeks of his deal top run, it will soon be make your mind up time for them. The Chinese Super League is due to restart again soon, and his parent club Shanghai Shenhua, want him back.
