Jesse Lingard 'could earn Manchester United a £500,000 bonus if he can help West Ham qualify for the Champions League' as the in-form midfielder prepares for the Hammers' final push for a top-four place

Jesse Lingard will reportedly earn Manchester United a £500,000 bonus if he can help West Ham qualify for the Champions League.

The midfielder joined the Hammers on loan in January and has flourished under David Moyes, playing a huge role in their unlikely push for European football.

Three defeats in their last four games by Newcastle, Chelsea and Everton have dented West Ham's chances of a top-four finish but they are still six points off fourth place with a game in hand.
