Manchester United to make call on Jesse Lingard’s future only after FA Cup tie against Liverpool

Manchester United to make final call on Jesse Lingard’s future only after FA Cup tie against Liverpool with boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer keen to avoid being left short amid fixture pile-up

  • A decision has yet to be made on if Jesse Lingard leaves Man United this month
  • The Man United outcast has not started a Premier League game in over a year
  • Lingard has a year and a half left on his contract and wants consistent football 
  • Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will wait until after facing Liverpool in the FA Cup to decide

Manchester United will decide on Jesse Lingard’s future after the FA Cup tie with Liverpool.

Lingard is wanted on loan by Newcastle United, West Brom and Sheffield United and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will take stock once he knows his side’s FA Cup fate.

Lingard, 28, remains part of United’s squad and could be utilised with a heavy fixture list.

Newcastle boss Steve Bruce would like to bring in Lingard and Leicester City’s Hamza Choudhury though he faces competition on both from Sam Allardyce. However, West Brom only have one domestic loan space available.

The 28-year-old has struggled for any sort of consistent action over the past 12 months. 

While he started in the FA Cup third round win over Watford, Lingard has not been named in the first-team line-up for a Premier League game in over a year.
