'Talking about other things now will not only be selfish but terribly insensitive': Odion Ighalo brushes off Manchester United contract dilemma amid global coronavirus crisis

Odion Ighalo has refused to be drawn into speculation surrounding his future at Manchester United, and believes football must come secondary to health amid the ongoing coronavirus outbreak.

The 30-year-old has enjoyed a successful stint at Old Trafford since a surprise loan move was completed in January, but could find his time at his boyhood club cut short due to the world health crisis.

Ighalo's six-month loan spell appears likely to expire before action resumes, but the ex-Nigerian international is adamant that discussing his future would be insensitive.
