Paul Scholes suggests West Ham and Everton for Jesse Lingard

Paul Scholes has suggested that Manchester United attacker Jesse Lingard should join West Ham United or Everton, as quoted on BBC Sport.

The United legend does not think that Lingard – who can play as an attacking midfielder or as a winger – will get a run of games at Old Trafford.

The former England international midfielder believes that the 27-year-old could get chances to play regularly for the first team at the Toffees or at the Hammers.

BBC Sport quotes Scholes as saying about Lingard: “I know what Jesse is capable of, I grew up with him, played with him, coached him in the reserves, but he has just become a squad player.
