Jesse Lingard is set to leave Manchester United this summer after 232 appearances and 35 goals.
The England international enjoyed loan spells out at Leicester, Birmingham and West Ham after breaking through from the club’s academy into the senior squad in 2014. But after a tough few years, he will go through the Carrington doors one last time this summer.
Along with Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata and Nemanja Matic, he sees his contract expire next month. He was denied an Old Trafford farewell against Brentford before being left out of the team in the final day loss to Crystal Palace.

A number of Premier League rivals have been linked with a move for the 29-year-old. Newcastle were said to be interested before learning of his £150,000-a-week wage demands.
But West Ham are now said to be close to a reunion with Lingard after his successful loan spell last season. And after jetting off on holiday after United 's turbulent term, the midfielder has sent a defiant message on social media from the gym.
Accompanied with photos of him working up a sweat, Lingard posted on his Instagram account: “Overly focused, it’s far from the time to rest now.”
He will be hoping for a late dash to make Gareth Southgate’s England plane in time for the World Cup this winter. He netted a superb strike in his country's 6-1 win over Panama at the last finals in Russia, when the Three Lions made it to the semi-finals.
