Lingard was hugely impressive on loan with West Ham United earlier this year. He has been identified as a potential candidate to replace Maddison. Sportslens view: Lingard had a renaissance with the Hammers earlier this year, registering nine goals and five assists from just 16 appearances in all competitions. There has since been speculat...
Report claims what 28-year-old has told his club amid interest from Arsenal & West Ham
Jesse Lingard wants to continue at Manchester United. The 28-year-old was struggling for regular games last season and joined West Ham on loan in the second half of the campaign. The move turned into a huge success, as he scored nine goals and provided four assists in 16 Premier League games for the Hammers. West Ham, understandably want to sign Lingard on a permanent deal, and the England winger hasn’t ruled out a potential move. Arsenal are also reportedly keen to sign Lingard.

West Ham to step up interest in £30m-rated star with 14 goal contributions last season – report
West Ham United are ready to step up their interest in re-signing Manchester United forward Jesse Lingard following his Euro 2020 heartbreak, The Sun reports. The England international had a superb loan stint with the Hammers during the second half of the season, registering nine goals and five assists from 16 games. His efforts helped the club qualify for the Europa League group stage for the first-time ever, but he still did not make the cut for the Euro 2020 squad. His absence from the tournament has offered the Hammers the opportunity to negotiate a permanent deal with the Red Devils in the coming weeks. Sportslens view: Lingard’s career was on an evident slump with the Red Devils before he made the temporary switch to the Hammers at the turn of the year. The move has helped him build ...
Marcus Rashford penalty gives England win over Romania in Euro warm-up
Marcus Rashford’s penalty earned England an unconvincing 1-0 win over Romania in their final warm-up friendly ahead of Euro 2020 in Middlesbrough on Sunday. However, victory for Gareth Southgate’s men was again overshadowed by booing from supporters as the players took the knee before kick-off. Southgate’s selection will also be questioned as he named an experimental line-up with five players who are not part of his final squad making an appearance at some point in the game. There is still one place up for grabs in Southgate’s 26-man squad, though, due to an injury to Trent Alexander-Arnold. James Ward-Prowse, Ben Godfrey and Ben White were all given the chance to further their case from the start, while Jesse Lingard and Ollie Watkins came off the bench in the second-half. An inexperience...
Euro 2020: Gareth Southgate invites Bukayo Saka, 24 others
Gareth Southgate hit back at the critics after selecting Trent Alexander-Arnold for England’s Euro 2020 squad as the Three Lions boss admitted Harry Maguire is a doubt for the opener against Croatia. Alexander-Arnold had to endure a nervous wait before learning he had made the cut after spending much of the season out of favour with Southgate. The 22-year-old was left out of Southgate’s England squad for their World Cup qualifiers in March. But Alexander-Arnold’s strong end to the season with Liverpool convinced Southgate to restore the right-back to his squad. Alexander-Arnold responded to his selection by tweeting: “Always believe in yourself. Silence the doubters.” Irritated by the inaccurate pre-announcement reports that he would drop Alexander-Arnold, Southgate insisted he never lost ...
Aston Villa could rival West Ham United for €25m attacker with 13 goal contributions
Aston Villa are keeping tabs on the contract situation of Manchester United forward Jesse Lingard, who is currently on loan at West Ham United, Football Insider claims. Lingard hardly played for the Red Devils during the first half of the campaign, but he has revived his career since his move to the Hammers in January. The 28-year-old has been exceptional in the league with nine goals and four assists from 10 matches, which sees the club in the Champions League mix. It was recently reported that the Hammers need to pay around €25 million to sign Lingard permanently, but it appears that they could face competition from Villa. The coaching staff at the Midlands outfit believe he is a ‘Villa-type player’ and would make a huge impact for Dean Smith’s side with his versatility. Sportslens ...
West Ham boss allays fears of serious Jesse Lingard injury after substitution
West Ham manager David Moyes has moved to allay fears Jesse Lingard picked up an injury in the defeat at Newcastle on Saturday. The loanee, who scored his ninth goal for the club in the game, was withdrawn late on after going down with cramp. Lingard’s goal from the penalty spot made this season his best every in terms of goals scored in the top flight, doing so in just ten games for the Hammers. If they are to make the top four this season, the England international will be key, meaning that his going down sparked fears among many supporters. Lingard was quickly back on the pitch after the game and Moyes was quick to calm any worries. “I think it was just cramp, I don’t think it was anything serious,” said Moyes. Arthur Masuaku and Aaron Cresswell missed the game through injury, with the ...
‘I have no doubt’: Crouch want West Ham to clinch ‘amazing value’ deal for £20m player
Peter Crouch has suggested that Manchester United could demand £20 million for Jesse Lingard. The popular football pundit has claimed in a Q/A column for the Daily Mail that he doesn’t think Lingard should return to Old Trafford. The England international was frozen out at United and eventually sealed a move to West Ham on loan in the January transfer window. He has made a tremendous impact for the Hammers, scoring eight goals and three assists in the Premier League. Crouch feels that United wanted “him to go out and show himself to potential suitors.” In that case, there’s no point for Lingard to come back to Old Trafford and find himself in a situation where he is used as a bit-part player. It has been reported that West Ham are ready to do anything to sign Lingard, while there has ...
Man United devise plan to sign £100m Premier League star, could propose swap deal
Manchester United could propose to sign West Ham United midfielder Declan Rice in a player-plus-cash deal with Jesse Lingard moving in the opposite direction, The Athletic reports. Sportslens view: The Red Devils could be lining up a new midfielder this summer with Nemanja Matic no longer at the prime of his career at 33, while Paul Pogba’s future remains uncertain with his contract expiring in 14 months. Rice has proved to be one of the league’s leading midfielders this term, managing two tackles and two interceptions per game with an impressive pass success rate of nearly 88. He was on the radar of Chelsea last summer, but a deal never materialised. However, he could switch to United this year in a proposal that may tempt the Hammers. Lingard has been a huge success for the Hammers since...
‘So happy’, ‘Well deserved’: Some Man United fans react as duo earn England call-ups
A selection of Manchester United fans have expressed their delight after Luke Shaw and Jesse Lingard returned to the England squad under Gareth Southgate. Shaw has not played for the Three Lions since September 2018, and he previously pulled out of the squad in March 2019 due to injury. He has since been out of the fray due to injuries and competition for places, but his form this season has not gone unnoticed by Southgate. Shaw has been one of United’s best-performing players this season, bagging one goal and six assists from 34 appearances. He was recently named the Red Devils’ Player of the Month for February. Alongside Shaw, Chelsea’s Ben Chilwell is the other left-back/left wing-back option in the England squad. The duo are set to compete for places in the upcoming World Cup qualifier...
