Odion Ighalo's agent reveals a deal to keep him at Manchester United is 'very close' with the striker otherwise left in limbo with foreign players 'banned from returning to China until October' and his loan due to expire on Sunday

Odion Ighalo is 'edging ever closer to an extended stay at Manchester United' after it was revealed the Chinese Super League's foreign players are set to be banned from returning until October.

Ighalo moved to Old Trafford on a short-term loan deal from Shanghai Shenhua back in January, but despite impressing in his spell in England his future is currently unclear amid the coronavirus pandemic.

The striker's loan deal is set to expire this Sunday, leaving him in limbo between England and China, but his agent has now revealed that an extension is close to being agreed.
