Jesse Lingard to push for permanent Manchester United exit?

Jesse Lingard to push for Man United exit?

Jesse Lingard will reportedly push for a permanent move away from Manchester United this summer after starring on loan with West Ham United.

The England international has revived his career during his three months at the London Stadium, scoring and assisting a combined 12 goals in 11 games across that spell.

That form has led to suggestions that Man United may offer Lingard a new contract, but Eurosport reports that the 28-year-old does not want to be a bit-part player at Old Trafford.

Lingard is said to be upset and frustrated by his treatment before heading on loan to West Ham, and it is now his intention to find a new club in the summer - possibly West Ham.

The Hammers supposedly had a £15m offer knocked back by the Red Devils in January to sign the attacking midfielder on a permanent basis.

Given Lingard's form since then, Man United could command up to double that amount when the transfer window reopens.
