Jesse Lingard is set to leave Manchester United this summer after feeling let down over his treatment.
Lingard, who was on loan with West Ham will be a free agent this summer. Newcastle, AC Milan, Juventus and Paris St-Germain have already expressed an interest in the 29-year-old midfielder.
According to reports, new United boss Erik Ten Hag is keen to speak with the England international about his future. As it stands, he has no interest in talking to the Dutchman.
Top clubs want Lingard
There was significant interest in Lingard during the past two transfer windows. However, United refused to let him join a top-four rival.
Both former manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his temporary replacement Ralf Rangnick told the forward he would get an opportunity to press his first-team claims.

However, he started only two Premier League games this season. He was also left upset on Monday when Rangnick did not introduce him from the bench during the 3-0 win against Brentford. That would have been a farewell appearance at Old Trafford for a player who joined United when he was seven.
Reacting to this, Lingard’s brother in post on social media showed his fury, complaining that after “20 years of blood, sweat and tears, four domestic trophies and three cup final goals” there was “not even a farewell” for the midfielder.
The midfielder feels he needs to resurrect his 32-cap England career. He featured in World Cup qualifiers in September and October 2021. He almost earned a place in the English squad for Euro 2020 due to some outstanding performances on loan at West Ham.
According to reports, negotiations with two of the clubs interested in Lingard are said to be at an advanced stage.
Newcastle tried to sign Lingard in January. Lingard however, was not sure about committing himself to a club that, at the time, was in a relegation battle.
