Manchester United Prodigy Set To Join Westham On Loan

West Ham have agreed a deal to sign Manchester United forward Jesse Lingard on loan for the rest of the season

West Ham have agreed a deal to take Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard on loan for the remainder of the season.

Lingard is expected to have his medical in Manchester before travelling to London to complete the move.

If the deal is completed and Lingard is registered by midday on Friday, he will be available to make his debut against Liverpool on Sunday.

Lingard has fallen down the pecking order at Old Trafford, failing to make a Premier League appearance this season, and has been looking to secure a move away to get more first-team minutes.

The total cost of a potential deal is thought to be more than £3m, taking into account the loan fee and Lingard’s wages.

United triggered a one-year extension on Lingard’s contract, which now runs until the summer of 2022, to protect his value ahead of a potential transfer.
