Manchester United have rejected a loan offer from Newcastle for Jesse Lingard, 90min has learned.

But despite barely featuring for United under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer or Ralf Rangnick, United are not willing to let Lingard leave on loan – despite interim boss Rangnick previously asserting that the club's sizeable squad needed to be trimmed down.
Newcastle had hoped to take him to St James' Park on loan until the end of the season, with Eddie Howe desperately trying to bolster his squad in attempt to stave off relegation.
