LONDON • Odion Ighalo has four more days to secure his Manchester United future as he seeks to choose his boyhood club over money again.
The 30-year-old's loan deal expires on Sunday and he will have to return to Shanghai Shenhua, who have offered him a new 31/2-year contract worth over £75 million (S$131.2 million), unless there is a breakthrough in negotiations between the Chinese Super League (CSL) outfit and United.
