Jesse Lingard’s next move: European club make contact over signing ex-Man United star – and he could link up with a former Old Trafford team-mate

Feyenoord are among the clubs to have made contact over free agent former Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard.

The 33-year-old is hoping to make a decision on his next move by the end of this week.

Clubs from England, Italy and Holland have discussed offers for Lingard who left Seoul FC in December after 67 games and 19 goals.

The likes of West Ham, Wolves and Genoa had also examined the possibility of signing the ex-England international over recent weeks.

Feyenoord are coached by Lingard’s former United team-mate Robin van Persie who has been under pressure to resign after losing to league leaders PSV Eindhoven and Real Betis in the Europa League.

His woes were compounded last week when his son and centre forward Shaqueel Van Persie was taken off with knee ligament damage.

One of those interested in the 33-year-old is Feyenoord who are managed by Robin van Persie

Van Persie and Lingard were team-mates at Manchester United before the former left in 2015

Lingard would offer versatility up front and experience while he has been keeping himself fit with an individual training programme.

He is one of a few options free and available outside the window for Van Persie to explore.
