Manchester United face losing Odion Ighalo back to his parent club Shanghai Shenhua.

It's emerged Shanghai Shenhua have made the Nigerian striker an improved contract offer as his loan expires at the end of June.

"Manchester United have been very impressed and pleased with the progress that Mason Greenwood has made this season," Sky Sports reporter, Dharmesh Sheth, said.

“But they do remain in the market for a striker, and the one that they want is a player that is already in their squad, Odion Ighalo on loan from Shanghai Shenhua of course.

“Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is very impressed with the impact that Ighalo has made this season and sees Ighalo as a man of experience who can help some of the younger players, including Mason Greenwood.

“However, this deal is not as easy as it sounds. That's because Shanghai Shenhua have offered Ighalo a new contract worth around £400,000-a-week. That's simply a wage that Manchester United would not pay."
