Manchester United will ‘welcome back’ Jesse Lingard after inspired West Ham loan stint, says Solskjaer
Jesse Lingard will be welcomed back at Manchester United following his prolific loan stint at West Ham, according to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. The midfielder has revived his career since moving to the London Stadium until the end of the season in January, registering three assists and scoring eight goals - the most of any top-flight player since his Hammers debut on February 2 - as well as earning back a spot in Gareth Southgate’s England squad ahead of this summer’s rescheduled European Championship. West Ham believe they have a strong case to sign Lingard on a permanent basis this summer as they push for Champions League qualification, while Arsenal and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested in his services.
