Nigerian International striker Odion Ighalo says he will not rush into deciding his future as his loan spell is drawing to an end at Manchester United.
Ighalo has revealed he is yet to receive an offer to make his loan move permanent at Old Trafford beyond the summer
The 30-year-old was offered £400,000 a week to stay at Shanghai Shenua when his loan deal expires but Ighalo says he will not rush into making a decision.
Ighalo who is a boyhood United fan admits he is yet to receive an offer and will consider his options at the end of the season.
“There is no offer on the table yet because the season is still on and I’m yet to finish my loan deal. I don’t just take decisions alone in my life,” he told ElegbeteTV.
“I have seen so many tweets about this. I have seen so many people going crazy, [saying] ‘go back to China’, some say stay with Man United.
“Have you seen me say a word? I don’t have anything to say. When the season’s finished and I get two offers from the two teams, then I will sit and think about it, pray about it and whatever God says I should do, I will go with that.
“I don’t just sit down and take decisions, and I don’t get carried away with whatever people say. I came to Manchester United to play for a pay cut because I wanted to.
“So anything could happen, but I want the season to finish and my loan to finish. Then I will see everything I have.
“You don’t just rush and do things.’I’m going here, I’m going here’. I have to sit down and finish the season well, sit down with my agent, see what’s on the ground: A, B, C, D, is on the ground. Okay we have to pick.”
Ighalo has scored four goals in eight games since joining on loan from Chinese Super League outfit Shanghai Shenua and manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is expected to make the deal permanent.
