Manchester United to trigger extension clause in forwards contract

Man United to extend Lingard's contract

Manchester United to trigger extension clause in forward's contract

24 December 2020 - 19:36

Manchester United are set to trigger the extension clause in Jesse Lingard's contract to keep him at the club until the summer of 2022.

  • Chelsea suffer double injury blow ahead of Villa trip
  • Mikel Arteta confirms big injury boost for Spurs clash

  • The 28-year-old has fallen out-of-favour under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and he has yet to play a single minute of league football this term.

    His current deal expires at the end of the campaign, but United are set to trigger the 12-month option to extend his stay until June 2022, a report from The Mail claims.

    Celtic, Rangers and Sheffield United have all been credited with an interest in Lingard and United are reluctant to allow their graduate leave for a bargain fee at the turn of the year.

    Lingard, who has made more than 200 appearances for United, was valued at around £25m last summer, but his valuation will have dropped with his lack of playing time.

    Still, United are reportedly looking for an eight-figure sum to part ways with the England international. Aside from Lingard, Sergio Romero and Phil Jones could be on the move next month.
