Manchester United to make final call on Jesse Lingard's future only after FA Cup tie against Liverpool with boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer keen to avoid being left short amid fixture pile-up

Manchester United will decide on Jesse Lingard's future after the FA Cup tie with Liverpool.

Lingard is wanted on loan by Newcastle United, West Brom and Sheffield United and Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will take stock once he knows his side's FA Cup fate.

Lingard, 28, remains part of United's squad and could be utilised with a heavy fixture list.

Newcastle boss Steve Bruce would like to bring in Lingard and Leicester City's Hamza Choudhury though he faces competition on both from Sam Allardyce. However, West Brom only have one domestic loan space available.
