'Now we know what Akon felt!': Jesse Lingard's brother takes a swipe at Manchester United after eye-watering demands for Newcastle loan and suggests the England star was 'let out on day release' to join West Ham on loan last year

Jesse Lingard's brother has blasted Manchester United for apparently preventing the midfielder's move to Newcastle with huge loan demands.

The 29-year-old outcast has barely played for the Red Devils this season, with several Premier League sides interested in signing him before the January transfer window closes on Monday.

But United have reportedly set eye-wateringly high demands for a temporary switch to the Magpies, leading Lingard's brother Louie Scott to compare his sibling's situation at Old Trafford to that of a prisoner.
