Jesse Lingard: Newcastle deal for Manchester United midfielder at risk

Manchester United forward Jesse Lingard fears his January move to Newcastle is set to collapse because of the financial demands of the Old Trafford club.

United will only sanction a total package in excess of £15m for the 29-year-old, whose contract runs out at the end of the season.

The deal includes a £12m payment to United should Newcastle stay up.

Lingard feels the sums are excessive and is dismayed at the situation.

With the transfer window due to close on Monday evening, BBC Sport has been told Lingard feels United's stance is ruining his chance of getting a move that would allow him to play regular football.
