Lingard, who has also been linked with La Liga outfit Osasuna since leaving Nottingham Forest at the end of the season, also had a successful loan spell with West Ham in 2021, but Al-Ettifaq boss Steven Gerrard has taken an interest in it and wants a permanent move for him to Al-Ettifaq.
Jesse Lingard has very good goal-scoring status from a performance point of view; he scored 35 goals in 232 appearances and has also been capped 32 times by England. He was also part of Gareth Southgate's squad, which made it to the semifinals of the World Cup in Russia in 2018. He has very good goal-scoring ability at Manchester United, but after leaving Manchester United, his goal-scoring ability has a little bit reduced, not like at a higher standard. But anyway, Steven Gerrard has managed to bring out his best form for Al-Ettifaq.

Jesse Lingard didn't have all of the best times he'd want at Manchester United especially his last seasons, but he had a good loan move to West Ham. He should have been allowed to stay there for his own good and game time, but Manchester United didn't get to see that happening. I feel like he was robbed off that opportunity by Manchester United.
Half loan spell with West Ham and he was having the season of his life, scoring and helping David Moyes and the hammers achieving a great time together. He shouldn't have returned to Manchester United.
I never knew about him leaving for Saudi Arabian Premier League when exactly? I hope Gerrard's doing a good job? He failed as a manager managing Aston Villa.
Most England ex-players going for coaching career and jobs are very poor, the likes of Wayne Rooney, Frank Lampard, Phil Neville and lots more.
