These Two English Clubs Open Their Doors Wide For Jesse Lingard

JAKARTA - Jesse Lingard's future at Manchester United is still a mystery, lately rumors have circulated that the midfielder is ready to leave Old Trafford, Manchester United's headquarters. In the midst of the news, there were two Premier League clubs who opened their doors wide and were ready to welcome Lingard.

Quoted from Eurosport, Friday, the duration of Lingard's contract at Manchester United is only until June 2022 and the club still wants to continue the cooperation. But on the other hand, there are those who say that Lingard is already reluctant to be at Old Trafford.

Investigate a calibaration, the strong reason behind the rumors is that Lingard is not satisfied with just being used as a bench warmer. Throughout this season alone, Lingard only got the opportunity to appear five times in the Premier League competition.

From that opportunity, Lingard could only contribute two goals for the team. Not only that, this 28-year-old player even feels unable to compete with Mason Greenwood, Jadon Sancho, and Marcus Rashford for the wing attacking sector.

With a series of reasons above, the rumors of Lingard's departure are clearly getting stronger. On this occasion, two other Premier League clubs considered it a golden opportunity.

It is West Ham United and Newcastle who are predicted to be ready to accommodate Lingard. The first name even has great potential because it had become a temporary port for the player.

Lingard was loaned by Manchester United to West Ham United at the beginning of the 2021 season. There, Lingard performed quite well with a record of 9 goals and 5 assists from sixteen appearances across competitions.

Before finally repatriating Lingard, West Ham United were interested and intended to make the player permanent. Unfortunately, at that time Manchester United even blocked his departure unless a big offer came.

Now that the opportunity is here again, West Ham United are not the only club interested in signing Lingard. Because, they have to compete with Newcastle United who also want Lingard's services.

New owners Newcastle United have identified Lingard as a possible target to prevent them from being relegated to the Championship.

But it looks like West Ham could be Lingard's consideration for a move, because David Moyes's men are in the top four of the Premier League. It was an exciting and promising opportunity for Lingard.

Regardless of who will propose to Lingard, whether West Ham or Newcastle, they have to prepare a fairly large dowry because from Transfermarkt data, Lingard is priced at 22 million pounds, or around IDR 425 billion.
