Lingard’s highlight moment at Manchester United has passed for a while, but there is still a 10-day transfer period, but it seems that he has no time to fight for the transfer. Off-court issues affected his performance last year, but since the 2018 World Cup, he is no longer the original player, when he played a key role in the process of England's promotion to the World Cup semi-finals. Solskjaer is said to be still a fan of Lingard, but he didn't have his place in Manchester United's roster a long time ago.
Lingard made his last debut in the Premier League a year ago. Since then, in Manchester United's 36 league games, he has only participated in 4 games and was selected for the match day lineup 12 times. He has only played a total of 64 minutes, and he has not played a league game this season. Judging from the rumors exposed by the British media this month, the 28-year-old Lingard does not lack teams that are interested in him, but he hopes to make the right choice. The next six months will likely determine his career. The future direction of your career.
Sheffield United, who is stuck in the relegation zone, has shown strong willingness to transfer Lingard, but it is understandable that he is not moved. Wilder's team can become a transit point for Lingard in order to give him a better transfer opportunity in the summer. But as the team has shown in previous games this season, this season is very difficult for the forward in Bramar Lane. For Lingard, this also meant a considerable drop, moving from the top of the standings to the bottom.
However, his value has fallen sharply in the past 12 months. Manchester United has made great progress after the arrival of Bruno Fernandez. The Portuguese has not even joined the team for a year. He has played 50 times in all competitions. In the process, he has directly participated in 44 goals. ball. At the same time, Lingard has played more than 200 times for his childhood club, but he has only contributed 7 goals more than Fernandez.
There are rumors that he may be reunited with Mourinho at Tottenham, especially due to Inter Milan's request, Ali may leave the team in the winter window, Eriksson will also return. In fact, during Mourinho’s tenure,Lingard played the best football of his Manchester United career, even though it was all in December 2017, scoring 7 goals in 9 games from Boxing Day to New Year's Day. However, it remains to be seen whether Manchester United is willing to let Lingard join the championship competitor.
Arsenal is also an unlikely target. Real Madrid's Erdgau's loan to join is already a certainty, and the Gunners have no extra space in the midfield. Therefore, Lingard is likely to have to accept a low-ranking club, desperate to get a chance this season. Everton is usually the next best destination for frustrated Manchester United players, but they have a good staff reserve in this position, just like West Ham under another former Manchester United coach Moyes. There is no doubt that Steve Bruce will welcome Lingard to Newcastle, but St. James’s Park is not a place where offensive geniuses can be used, but budget-conscious clubs like Southampton and Aston Villa Lingard was not included in their consideration in the market. Leicester City are eager to sign an attacking midfielder, but their interest in Eriksson shows that Brendan Rogers has a slightly higher goal than Lingard, who was once loaned to the Foxes.
This gives Lingard no choice, and it also increases the chances of Sheffield United getting him to sign at the last minute. Fulham may be more suitable for finding a shooter, but Lingard’s profile is definitely in line with Scott Parker’s style of play, and returning to Brighton may also be an attractive option for Lingard. . However, the Seagulls have not shown any action yet, but Graham Porter did recruit a lot of former giants in Brighton, such as persuading Lallana to join them in the summer before the end of last season, and Lingard's former Manchester United teammate Welbeck.
The most important thing is that Lingard just wants to do his favorite things again. Many people laughed at Lingard’s infrequent goals. Although it sounds strange, he can be said to be in his best condition without the ball. Lingard's pull on space is underestimated, and his movement in the midfield and defense will cause a series of chain reactions. This is why Mourinho used him so frequently during Manchester United. Lingard still has many opportunities, but if he wants to leave Manchester United this month,Time is running out.
