Shanghai Shenhua expect Odion Ighalo to return from his loan spell at Manchester United in time for the start of the new Chinese Super League season, which is scheduled to begin in July.


Manchester are keen to extend Ighalo's loan to cover the end of the Premier League season, the date of which remains unclear amid the coronavirus pandemic.

It is thought Newcastle United would be interested in Ighalo if their proposed takeover is completed this summer.

Ighalo revealed last month there is "no offer on the table yet" from Manchester United over extending his stay at the club beyond his current loan spell, despite Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer hinting that a deal could be made.
