Jakarta –
Newcastle United intend to borrow Jesse Lingard from Manchester United. But the Red Devils refused the offer.
Reported by the BBC, United are reluctant to let Lingard go to Newcastle because it makes his career at Old Trafford end automatically. Once the loan period is over, Lingard is no longer a Manchester United player.
Not only Newcastle, Lingard also attracted Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United, but MU also refused. Both teams are known to be direct rivals of MU to compete for tickets to the Champions League next season, and MU does not want their rivals to be stronger.
Look MU don’t want to lose by letting Lingard free loose, Newcastle have the option to buy it this month. Even so, it is possible that Lingard chose to stay at MU until the end of the season, then decide on his new port.
Lingard’s contract with Manchester United expires in June, and most likely will not be extended. This is due to the lack of opportunities that the 29-year-old player gets.
this season, Lingard only appeared 9 times in the Premier League together MU, all as substitutes. Under the tutelage of Ralf Rangnick, his fate has not changed.
This condition that seems to want to be used by Newcastle. Moreover, they need new ammunition to help the team avoid relegation. They are currently 19th with 12 points.
