Jesse Lingard pens an emotional farewell message to West Ham after his incredible loan spell comes to an end... but he leaves the door open to a return with David Moyes keen on extending his stay

Jesse Lingard has penned an emotional farewell message to the West Ham players, management and fans as he heads back to Manchester United following a stunning six-month loan spell.

Having fallen to the periphery of the United squad under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, a rejuvenated Lingard took the Premier League by storm after signing for the Hammers in January, with his nine goals and five assists in 16 games proving crucial as West Ham qualified for the Europa League.

David Moyes has been vocal about his desire to extend Lingard's stay, but the power is entirely in United's hands, with one year remaining on the England international's contract.
