DBasia.news – Manchester United is in danger of losing a player who is said to have the potential to match Andres Iniesta, Jesse Lingard. The England international is still making West Ham United chase him.
West Ham are satisfied with Jesse Lingard’s performance on loan half last season. The midfielder registered nine goals and four assists in 16 games. In fact, previously Lingard did not get many opportunities at Manchester United.
Jesse Lingard also returned to Man United because West Ham failed to agree on a permanent transfer. Lingard showed off in the test match against Burnley by scoring a goal. Man United closed the game with a 3-1 advantage.
However, West Ham reportedly has not given up. The Hammers are confident they can reach an agreement with Man United, even though the transfer window continues to close.
However, West Ham threatened to bite the finger. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer reportedly doesn’t want to let Lingard go this summer. Although not the main choice, but Lingard still means in the eyes of Solskjaer.
The tactician assesses that the 28-year-old midfielder is a cover for Paul Pogba and Bruno Fernandes. With so much competition for Man United, Solskjaer needs good squad depth.
In fact, according to former assistant manager of Man United, Rene Meulensteen, Lingard has the potential to shine like Andres Iniesta.
“Jesse Lingard has always had attributes in his game like Iniesta had when he was at Barcelona,” explained Rene Meulensteen in February 2020.
