According to SportsMail, Manchester United’s attempts to extend Odion Ighalo’s loan deal has hit a brick wall.
The six-month agreement expires in just a week time.
Chinese Super League, Shanghai Shenhua have rejected United’s requests to keep Ighalo at Old Trafford for another three months.
The Chinese Super League have asked Ighalo, to rejoin the club to prepare for the start of the delayed season.
Unless United can make a late breakthrough in negotiations, Ighalo will return to Chinese Super League when his loan ends next Monday.
The 30-year-old scored four goals in eight matches before the COVID-19 shutdown and resumed training with the United squad at Carrington last week.
Although he would prefer to finish the season in England, Shanghai have the final say and are determined to get Ighalo back.
