The Englishman feels it’s a no-brainer to secure the signature of Jesse Lingard provided he joins as a free agent. According to him, the Manchester United star could be the signing of the summer if he replicates his performances from his loan spell at West Ham United.
Kevin Phillips told Football Insider:
The former Sunderland striker went on to predict that Jesse Lingard will be a good fit for Antonio Conte’s system due to his ability and work rate. He also suggested the Manchester United star could arrive as a replacement for Dele Alli, who is rumored to be close to parting ways with Spurs.
End of the road for Jesse Lingard at Manchester United?
The attacking midfielder appears to be nearing the end of his career at Old Trafford. As it stands, it is safe to conclude that he’s not in the club’s plans at the moment. So far this season, the 29-year-old has started only two games for the Red Devils across all competitions.
Lingard’s contract with Manchester United expires at the end of the current campaign. Given his situation at Old Trafford, it wouldn’t be a surprise if he ends up leaving the club as a free agent at the end of the term. Will he join Tottenham Hotspur? Only time will tell.
