Report: Manchester United reluctant to let Tottenham and West Ham target Jesse Lingard leave this month

According to talkSport journalist Alex Crook, Manchester United are reluctant to sell Jesse Lingard in the January transfer window.

Lingard has made just three appearances in all competitions this season, and he is yet to play in the Premier League.

The England international, who is on £75k-per-week wages at Old Trafford, is keen to leave the club this month in order to get regular games.

Lingard was linked with a move to French club Nice, but they have cooled their interest in the attacking midfielder.

Crook claims that a host of Premier League clubs are interested in signing the Manchester United midfielder, including London clubs Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham, but the Red Devils boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants him to stay.
