Jesse Lingard 'is set to snub Arsenal move' to fight for place at Manchester United despite slipping down pecking order under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer

Jesse Lingard looks set to turn down a potential move to Arsenal and fight for his place at Manchester United.

Reports emerged over the weekend linking the Manchester United midfielder with a move to north London, with United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer losing confidence in the 27-year-old.

Arsenal's head of football Raul Sanllehi is said to be one of the favourites to get in contact with Lingard's controversial agent Mino Raiola, but the player himself wants to see out his current contract, according to the Metro.
