Jesse Lingard spotted training at Inter Miami after being snubbed by Wayne Rooney

Jesse Lingard spotted training at Inter Miami after being snubbed by Wayne Rooney

Jesse Lingard is a free agent after being released by Nottingham Forest

Jesse Lingard has been spotted training at Inter Miami as he continues the search for his next club.

After leaving Manchester United, Lingard joined Nottingham Forest ahead of the 22/23 season.

However, he failed to register a single goal or assist in 17 Premier League matches for Forest and was released at the end of the campaign.

Since then, he has been linked with a move to the MLS and the Saudi Professional League.

Last week, he was linked with a move to DC United but manager Wayne Rooney, who played with Lingard, squashed those rumours.

Rooney said: “The Jesse Lingard [rumour]? I don't know where that has come from. From my point of view we have no interest in signing him.”

Now, he has been seen doing some shooting practice at Inter Miami’s training facilities as he aims to keep himself in top shape ahead of the 23/24 season.

After recently being linked with the Saudi Professional League, Lingard told Sky Sports: “I'm considering all options. I've never ruled out any team or club out, so for me it's just picking the right team and it's got to be right for me.

“I just want to play football at the end of the day and that's all I want to do. Obviously the project has got to be well suited for me, the team's got to be moving in the right direction but just regular game-time – I'm still hungry.”

He added: “Saudi Arabia are doing big things, and in the next couple of years or so, it will be one of the hotspots to go to. I'm not really surprised that the big names are moving out there.”

Inter Miami have been busy in the transfer window so far having confirmed that Barcelona legend Sergio Busquets and Argentina great Lionel Messi have both signed for the club.

If Lingard does make a move to the Middle East, he will join the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, N’Golo Kante, Edouard Mendy and Ruben Neves in the Saudi Professional League.
