Jesse Lingard transfer news: Manchester United forward wanted by Newcastle United and West Ham

Published on: 31 January 2022

Newcastle and West Ham are interested in Jesse Lingard after the forward was told he was free to leave Manchester United if a suitable offer comes in.

So far, United have refused to budge over their demand for a £12m payment should Lingard's loan to Newcastle result in the Magpies staying up.

United have been reluctant to deal with West Ham, who they regard as a rival for a Premier League top-four place.

It remains to be seen whether United will relax those demands.

England international Lingard, 29, spent a productive spell on loan at West Ham in the second half of the 2020-21 season, scoring nine goals in 16 appearances.

But he has started just two games in all competitions for the Red Devils this term after returning to Old Trafford - and been told again by interim boss Ralf Rangnick he can leave if United receive the right deal.
