Manchester United are "in dialogue" with Shanghai Shenhua to extend the loan deal of striker Odion Ighalo, says manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.

Ighalo, 30, joined United in January and will return to China on 31 May unless an agreement can be reached to keep him until the end of the season.

"At the moment nothing's been agreed yet," Solskjaer told MUTV.

Meanwhile, Marcus Rashford and Paul Pogba will be available for selection when the Premier League season resumes.

Striker Rashford and midfielder Pogba were both out with long-term injuries when the campaign was suspended because of the coronavirus pandemic in March.

Both players returned to small group training with the rest of the United squad last week.

"They're looking good," said Solskjaer.

"They've joined training now and they've done everything the other boys have been doing. No reaction so far, touch wood.

"When we get started, it looks like we can have a full squad to choose from."

England international Rashford had been out with a back injury since January while France's Pogba had missed most of the season with a foot problem.

Former Watford striker Ighalo was brought in as cover for Rashford on transfer deadline day in January and has impressed by scoring four goals in eight appearances.

Solskjaer added: "The loan deal went to the end of May now, so obviously he's supposed to be going back.

"We're in dialogue and hopefully [he can stay]. They've been great towards us, his club, and allow him to play for his dream club.

"It's been been a dream for him and hopefully he can finish off what he started, maybe with a trophy or two.

"Their league is going to start soon so we are just waiting to see."

We all know he won't be signed

Man has made an undeniable impact with the very short opportunity he got at his dream club.
Lesson: Whenever life presents a fantastic opportunity, take it with both hands, give it your all, and do it quickly, because you never know who's watching, neither do you know how long the opportunity may last.

Oh nairaland

...Nairaland...

I trust Ighalo to follow the goodie bag.

Nice

Which kind extension?
My guy should better go and collect his 400k in China.

Man United is an ungrateful club.

It's obvious ighalo is loved by the fan and the coach for his work rate and goal sense and it'll be sad to see him leave the team he has always wanted to play for.

Good for Him??

He need to sign up , money is not everything

Man utd can't afford him. We all know that. They should let him go fulfill his destiny of making 400million Euros per week.

Ighalo has fulfilled his dream of playing for Man U, he should now go for the money, age is no longer on his side, #170 million per week is not beans.

Some people will not be able to make that money he makes per week throughout their life.


This life sef!

Am not wishing Ighalo bad.........


but watch as u hear the transfer stalled........

Man United can't afford to pay huge now ....... especially when over rated English boy Rashford is back and running.

Eayah, I so much want him to stay.

China, you guyz released Covid 19 please release Ighalo 20 to United.

United should do everything possible just to make him finish this corona season with his childhood dream club and then they can release him.

Extension kee you there! If I be your brother na better koboko I go take use flog you till we reach china, you better go and be collecting €400k other than staying in Man U wey no go appreciate your style
Abi Na only me convert am to naira ni 170milli weekly

the Star just dey shine

If Ighalo doesn't go back to China, I'd be forced to believe that forces of darkness can hit you even from thousands of miles away.

What China is offering is absolutely mouth watering. A humongous 170 million naira per week. Jesu!
