Jesse Lingard is reportedly open to a loan move to Newcastle United, but the two clubs have not been able to agree on a deal yet.
The 29-year-old has been a squad player for Manchester United this season, and he has played just 88 minutes in the Premier League so far.
Lingard needs to play more often to cement his place in the England World Cup squad, and it remains to be seen whether he can seal a move to Newcastle before the January transfer window closes.
Newcastle United are in need of attacking reinforcements, and the Manchester United attacker is likely to play regularly if he moves to St James’s park.
According to a report from the manchester evening news, no significant progress has been made on the deal.
The 29-year-old will be a free agent in the summer, and United will probably be looking to sell him permanently this month to avoid losing him on a free transfer.
It will be interesting to see if the attacking midfielder can convince Manchester United to let him leave on loan if there aren’t any suitors willing to sign him permanently this month.
The player was heavily linked with a permanent move to West Ham during the summer transfer window, but he chose to stay at Manchester United and fight for his place.
It is evident that things have not gone according to plan for the England international, and it will be interesting to see how this situation evolves over the next few days.
If Lingard fails to secure a January move to Newcastle, he’s unlikely to play regularly at Manchester United. So, it is likely that he will miss out on the World Cup with England later this year.
The 29-year-old might not get another chance to represent his country in the next World cup, and missing out on this year’s showpiece event could be a devastating blow for him.
