Barcelona and AC Milan are at the front of the queue to sign Jesse Lingard on a free transfer next summer with Manchester United star likely to leave having rejected contract offer as he looks to seal spot in World Cup squad

Barcelona and AC Milan will be at the front of the queue to sign Jesse Lingard if he leaves Manchester United on a free transfer next summer.

Lingard rejected the offer of a new contract from United last month so he could weigh up his options before making a decision on his future.

The 28-year-old England midfielder wanted to see how much playing time he was given by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer following the signings of Cristiano Ronaldo and Jadon Sancho, having spent the second half of last season on loan at West Ham.
