Chinese club, Shanghai Shenhua are reportedly open to allowing Odion Ighalo to remain at Manchester United after it was revealed that Chinese Super League's foreign players are banned from returning to China until October.

This comes after his agent Salami Ladi confirmed that an extension on the loan might be agreed upon, she told FootMercato "On the one hand, the Super Eagle [Nigerian] feels very good in Manchester with which it is very close to a salary agreement.

“Negotiations with the Chinese are ongoing and are going well."

''On the other hand, in view of the latest regulations in force in the Middle Empire, it is almost impossible to offer such amounts.'

 As the border restrictions may prevent Ighalo from returning to his parent club Shanghai Shenhua, in time for the start of the new season in June, Shenhua are now willing to allow Odion Ighalo remain at Manchester United until January, according to Sky Sport.
