Fans React As Manchester United Loanee, Odion Ighalo Gets Offered A £400k Per Week Deal By Shanghai Shenhua
Manchester United loanee Odion Ighalo has been offered a two-year contract extension worth more than £400,000 per week by his parent club Shanghai Shenhua.
The Chinese club wants to reward the Nigerian striker for his good form at Manchester 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 flattered the striker.
His focus, though, is on United until his loan spell expires, he has to make a choice between the new deal and what the future holds for him at Manchester United.
Fans of the footballer have been reacting to this new deal on Twitter, with some suggesting he takes the deal, while some think otherwise.
