Manchester United’s Jesse Lingard will leave Old Trafford this summer and is now being targeted by Real Sociedad.
The midfielder’s contract expires at the end of June and will depart United after spending over 20 years with the Red Devils. The possibility of signing the 29-year-old for free is an attraction to many clubs and Real Sociedad are now looking at the Englishman to fill the void left by former Man United player, Adnan Januzaj, who is also out of contract this summer and is leaving the Basque side reports Todofichajes.
Lingard is yet to decide where he will play next season but the favourites are likely to be West Ham, where he shone on loan last season.
