The MU football academy dropout was bound by a one-year contract.

NOTTINGHAM -- Former Manchester United winger, Jesse Lingard, finally found a new club in the transfer market this summer. Had been predicted to return to defend West Ham United, Lingard instead anchored in one of the Premier League promotion clubs this season, Nottingham Forest.


The club nicknamed The Garibaldi, which has two European titles in 1978/1979 and 1979/1980, has also confirmed the recruitment of the 29-year-old player. Lingard came to Forest on a free transfer after his contract with United expired at the end of last month.


"Nottingham Forest has announced the signing of Jesse Lingard. Everyone at Nottingham Forest is delighted to welcome Lingard. We can't wait to see Lingard wearing the club uniform,'' Forest said in a statement on the club's official website, Friday (22/7/2022).

Although it was not stated specifically the duration of Lingard's contract with Forest, a number of British media, including Sky Sports , said that the Manchester United football academy graduate was bound by a one-year contract. Lingard's contract does not come with an additional one-year option.

The signing of Lingard is considered to be a form of Nottingham Forest's seriousness in looking at the English Premier League this season. Collecting 32 caps with the England national team, it is known to be the 11th signing of the fourth-placed Championship Division last season in this summer's transfer window.

At Forest, Lingard will reunite with former United team-mate Dean Henderson, who has signed on loan. Lingard is said to be earning a salary of £115,000 per week, including bonuses.

With this wage value, Lingard is rumored to be the highest-paid player in the Forest squad this season. Reportedly, the amount of salary requested by Lingard is also what made The Hammers resign from the effort to recruit the English winger.

While on loan in the second half of the 2020/2021 season at The Hammers, Lingard was indeed able to impress with nine goals and five assists from 16 appearances in the English Premier League. However, upon returning to United at the start of last season, Lingard again failed to compete in the Red Devils first team.

Lingard has only scored two goals and one assist in 21 matches in all competitions. The Red Devils management finally decided not to extend Lingard's contract, which officially expired on June 30, 2022 ago.

Until now, Lingard spent most of his career at Manchester United. Starting to be promoted to the Red Devils first team at the start of the 2011/2012 season, Lingard has made 321 appearances in all competitions and scored 35 goals and 21 assists.

During 11 seasons strengthening the Red Devils first team, Lingard has presented one FA Cup trophy, one English League Cup title, and one Europa League title.
