Manchester United are waiting to see when the Premier League season will restart before opening talks with Shanghai Shenhua over extending Odion Ighalo's loan.
Sportsmail revealed last month that Ighalo's short-term deal runs out on May 31 — a month earlier than most loan agreements.
United want to keep the Nigerian striker for longer after he scored four goals in eight games, but the issue has been complicated by the global football shutdown as Ighalo's loan enters its final three weeks.
