The 30-year-old was in Manchester United training gear as he trained on the grass to keep himself fit.
The striker who has scored four goals in eight games for Manchester United could return to full training later this month ahead of a possible restart of the Premier League in June.
Ighalo who joined Manchester United in January on loan from Chinese club Shanghai Shenhua has impressed in England.
His performances have prompted talks of him getting a permanent contract at Manchester United although Shanghai Shenhua’s demand of a transfer fee in the excess of £20m might discourage the Premier League giants.
According to Daily Mail, Ighalo was initially valued at £15m which United were ready to pay but Shenhua has increased their demands after the striker’s fine performances.
The club is said to want their player back in time for the start of the 2020 Chinese Super League (CSL) season and will only allow him to remain beyond his loan deal on May 31 if they agree on a permanent deal with Manchester United.
