There has been speculations about the future of Nigeria Born Striker Odion Ighalo who is currently playing for Manchester United, about his staying with the English side.
Ighalo’s loan deal at Manchester United runs out on May 31 which means he may have played his last game for Manchester United.
There were reports that the striker’s parent club Shanghai Shenhua wanted the striker back after failing to reach an agreement with Manchester United on an extension.
Solskjaer, however, believes that United can still keep Ighalo as they are still in talks with the Chinese club.
“The loan deal is until the end of May, so obviously he’s supposed to be going back,” the United boss said. “We’re in dialogue. They’ve been great towards us, his club, allowing him to play. It’s been a dream for him. Hopefully, he can finish off what he started, maybe with a trophy or two. “At the moment nothing has been agreed yet. Their league is going to start soon so we’re just waiting to see.”
The football season would have been over before May 31 but this is now impossible because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Ighalo has impressed at Manchester United with four goals in three starts and eight games in total.
Ighalo has also expressed his love for the club and will want to play more for the club but the decision to go or stay is not within his power.
