the MANCHESTER UNITED ” sign Nottingham forest former defender on free transfer..

Although there was a growing sense that Lingard would sign with West Ham, Forest has suddenly entered the race to sign him.

West Ham is happy with the deal they currently have on the table and has already proposed to sign Lingard. His decision is currently awaited by the Hammers.

Representatives for the former Manchester United midfielder have recently held conversations with at least four different teams, and he is anticipated to make a decision regarding his next club shortly.

The two other offers are said to be from leagues outside of England.

The 29-year-old’s Old Trafford contract terminated on June 30, making him a free agent.

During a fruitful loan stint for West Ham in 2021, Lingard recorded nine goals and five assists. In 231 appearances across all competitions, he scored 35 goals for Manchester United.

“I believe that Jesse Lingard’s entire career has undergone a significant shift as of this summer. He’s been with Manchester United for a long time and may have once believed he would never leave the team.

He had a couple loan stints at that period, especially when he was younger, and I believe you have to take stock of your situation when you move from playing for one of the biggest teams in the world to something smaller.

“Jesse Lingard needed to make the correct decision, and if that meant giving himself an extra few weeks to weigh his alternatives, he could believe that was the wisest course of action.
