Jesse Lingard's Move Away From Manchester United 'Confirmed' By A Rival Player

West Ham Goalkeeper Darren Randolph has hinted that Jesse Lingard could be returning to East London after his post on Instagram last week.

Lingard had a wonderful loan spell with West Ham in the second half of last season, getting nine goals and four assists in 16 Premier League games.

Whilst Lingard has been linked with the Hammers this summer, there have been reports that he was determined to fight for his place at Manchester United when he reported for pre-season in July.

However, with just two weeks left of the transfer window, there have been suggestions that Lingard has had a change of heart and is more open to the possibility of a transfer.

In Randolph's story on Instagram, he said: "@JesseLingard I'll be seeing you soon at Rush Green for training! You know you want to!"

Lingard was not involved in Manchester United's squad who beat Leeds 5-1 on Saturday after he tested positive for coronavirus.

However after the game, Solskjaer made it abundantly clear that he was very happy with Lingard and looked forward to working with him this season: "Don't forget Jesse Lingard.

"He has reinvented himself and he has come back the man that we know. With the quality he has, he is going to play a big part. I forgot him when I spoke about goalscorers.

"Of course, there could be more rotation. They will be fresher. You have to have a big and strong squad to be competitive in this league. It's the best league in the world.

"You have to be lucky with injuries. I am looking forward to working with these boys."
