Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard has emerged as a transfer target for Barcelona and AC Milan if he runs down his contract and leaves Old Trafford as a free agent next summer.
Lingard, who resurrected his career while on loan at West Ham in the second half of last season, is in the final year of his United deal and is weighing up his options.
The 28-year-old has struggled to re-establish himself in Manchester since his return from West Ham but has still made an impact with important goals and assists off the bench.
90min revealed in September that Lingard intends to make a decision on his future in January, giving himself the first half of the season to cement a place at United. If he is unable to, he will then make a more informed choice about whether he needs to leave permanently for the sake of his career.
More recently, United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has admitted that Lingard is unhappy with his lack of meaningful playing time at the club in the opening weeks of the season.
