Lingard exit confirmed

Manchester United have confirmed that Jesse Lingard will leave the club this summer.

The attacking midfielder is departing Old Trafford at the end of his contract, bringing to an end a 20-year spell at Old Trafford.

Lingard joined the club as a nine-year-old back in 2001 and came through the club’s academy ranks before making his debut in 2014.

In total, the England international, who is a Hammers target this summer, won the FA Cup and the League Cup during his time with his hometown club.

Of course, his loan spell in east London was nothing short of sensational, as he propelled himself back into the England team and potentially back into contention at United.

He subsequently snubbed a permanent move to the Irons, but he could now be available on a free transfer, with David Moyes again weighing up a move.

West Ham have seen Lingard reject them in both of the last two windows but Moyes may feel as though this can be third time lucky.
