Odion Ighalo has been offered a two-year contract extension worth more than £400,000 per week by his parent club Shanghai Shenhua, according to SkySports.
The Chinese club want to reward the Nigerian striker for his good form at United, where he has scored four goals in his first three starts.
The 30-year-old’s loan in England expires on May 31 but it is likely to be extended until June 30 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Ighalo’s current contract expires in December 2022 and Shanghai want to keep him until December 2024.
The new deal would see Ighalo earn £400,000 a week before tax, which is said to have intrigued the striker.
His focus, though, is on United until his loan expires. He will wait to see if United offer him a permanent deal before making a final decision on his future.
Earlier on, rumors surfaced that former Nigerian striker, Obafemi Martins is set to replace Odion Ighalo who is on loan to Manchester United at Shanghai Shenhua.
