Lingard’s drops heavy Hammers hint watching England

It hasn’t taken Jesse Lingard too long to start pouring some cold water over The Sun’s story of this morning claiming he wants to stay at Manchester United.

Indeed, the downmarket tabloid tale went as far as to say that he has held talks with the Manchester United boss telling him so which is very much at odds with what CandH has been hearing.

And this afternoon the 28 year old attacking midfielder – badly wanted by manager David Moyes as a quick signing – watched England beat Croatia and chose to wear the national team shirt of  Declan Rice.

He showed the image on  social media to share some snaps of himself watching the Euro 2020  in the pub, with his choice of shirt seemingly making a pretty big point.

And it certainly seems on the face of it that his West Ham connection is a little more important than the Manchester United one bearing in mind he could have work any of Harry Maguire’s, Luke Shaw or his apparent best mate Marcus Rashford.
