Jesse Lingard submitted conditions to his club, Manchester United for next season. He is willing to return to Old Trafford as long as there is a guarantee of playing more under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
Lingard has rarely been played in the past year. The Red Devils management then chose to loan the attacking midfielder to WestHam United in January 2021.
Together with the club The Hammers — the nickname of West Ham — Lingard’s performance was again stretched. The 28-year-old player scored five goals and provided two assistance in the seven games he played.
He is also coach David Moyes’ choice in every match. Something rare at Manchester United, because Lingard was displaced by Bruo Fernandes’ neat performance.
Meanwhile, according to the ESPN report, Lingard is not ready to return to Man United no matter what. He would prefer to spend the next season at West Ham.
It’s just that reports say he is willing to return to Old Trafford on bail. Lingard, whose contract has one year remaining, wants assurance from Solskjaer that he will play more often.
Lingard, became a byword in recent times. How could he not, Lingard was included in the England National Team squad after being sidelined for two years. The Three Lions – the nickname for the England national team – will face San Marino, Albania and Poland in the 2022 European zone World Cup qualifiers.
However, according to a BBC report on Wednesday (24/3/2021), Lingard’s name was included in the 26 England national team players not solely because of ability, but the number of injured players. The BBC report also said that the England coach, Gareth Southgate, had told Lingard about it.
Lingard deserves to be called the England national team because of his good performance after joining West Ham on loan from Manchester United. If he stays at Man United, Lingard may not get the chance to defend the England national team again.
Lingard cannot speak much at Man United in the 2020-2021 season. The Englishman played only three times during the first half of the season. Therefore, Lingard chose to be loaned to West Ham.
