Jesse Lingard’s future at Manchester United remains uncertain and there is a possibility he could join a Premier League side on loan.
According to reports, West Ham are leading the race to sign Jesse Lingard. There is a possibility he could join the Hammers on loan for the remainder of the season.
The 28-year-old has made just two starts under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer this season. He is yet to play a single minute in the Premier League during the current campaign, having fallen down the pecking order at the club.
Solskjaer reportedly wanted Lingard to stay put at Old Trafford as he wants options at his disposal with United still in contention for three titles.
However, after conversations between the pair, the United manager reluctantly agreed to let Lingard leave on loan.
Sky Sports report that a number of clubs have shown interest in the United academy graduate, including Sheffield United, West Brom, and a host of foreign clubs.
However, West Ham lead the race and Lingard would prefer to stay in the Premier League.
The Hammers might be ‘favorites’ but it remains to be seen if the deal will eventually go through with talks still ongoing between all parties involved.
One certainty though is that Lingard has run out of favor at Old Trafford and the club have no problem selling him or sending him out on loan.
United are expecting a quiet last week of the window in terms of incomings. Although, there are possibilities of a couple of outgoings, with Sergio Romero and Marcos Rojo also struggling for game-time so far this season.
