Nigeria striker Odion Ighalo said Friday that he hopes his loan deal at Manchester United is extended until the Premier League season is completed following the coronavirus lockdown.
The 30-year-old moved to Old Trafford from Chinese side Shanghai Shenhua in January and has a contract until May 31.
Premier League bosses hope to resume the season in June but Chinaās Super League is also edging towards the start of their season after it was delayed by COVID-19.

āI would like to finish the season if itās possible,ā Ighalo told BBC Sport.
āI was in good form, good shape, scoring goals and now weāve stopped now for over a month. Iāve given it my best and hopefully, weāll come back to play.
āThe team had a good momentum before the pandemic started. At the moment Iām on loan, and this will cut short my time at the club.ā
United are reportedly keen to extend Ighaloās contract even though their attacking worries have eased during the lockdown.
The former Watford player has scored four times in eight games in all competitions for United.
Ole Gunnar Solskjaerās side are fifth in the table with nine games remaining, chasing a Champions League spot after an indifferent season.
Solskjaer said his players had been wearing GPS trackers as part of their training regime as they prepare for a possible return to action.
