Former Manchester United star Jesse Lingard was brutally mocked by his K League opponent while playing for FC Seoul.

At the end of the 21/22 season, Lingard left Old Trafford and ended up signing for Nottingham Forest.

During his time with United, Lingard made a total of 232 appearances across all competitions, scoring 35 goals including the winner in the FA Cup final against Crystal Palace back in 2016.

At the end of the 23/24 campaign, Lingard left Forest upon the expiration of his contract. In February this year, it was confirmed that the 31-year-old had signed for K League side FC Seoul.

On Saturday, Lingard was in action as FC Seoul took on Daejeon Hana Citizen.

After scoring the equaliser to make it 2-2, Lingard celebrated with a dance.

However, FC Seoul conceded a goal in the 83rd minute as Daejeon Hana Citizen player Kim Hyeon-Ug netted.

After his goal, Kim did the same celebration as Lingard to rub salt in his wounds.

Reacting on social media, one fan said: “Didn’t know the Koreans had this amount of s***house.”

Another tweeted: “Lingard never change.”

When his move to South Korea was confirmed, Lingard said at the time: “I’m really excited, it’s a new challenge but I’ve accepted it.

"I’m here, I’m ready to embrace the culture. It’s a new beginning for me, a new chapter in my career.”

Lingard added: “I just want to enjoy playing football again and putting a smile on people’s faces and showing the Korean fans what I can do.

“The commitment shown by Seoul showed their interest and how much they wanted me and I wanted to repay that by going to the club.”

Lingard is also the seventh Englishman to play in the K League, following the likes of Jordan Mutch, Richard Offiong, Chris Marsden, Andy Cooke, Jamie Cureton and Dalian Atkinson.
