Wolverhampton Wanderers linked with Jesse Lingard loan

Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard has reportedly emerged as a loan target for Wolverhampton Wanderers.

Lingard was included in United's starting lineup during the first fixture of the season against Swansea City, but after suffering an injury during the opening 30 minutes, the England Under-21 international is yet to make another first-team appearance.

According to the Express & Star, the 22-year-old could be allowed to move to Molineux on a temporary deal in order to improve his match fitness.

The Championship club are looking for cover for winger Bakary Sako, who will be absent throughout January because of the Africa Cup of Nations.
