[인터풋볼] Reporter Kim Dae-sik = Director David Moyes publicly announced that he wants to sign Jesse Lingard.
West Ham United will play Round 28 of the 2020-21 Premier League (EPL) with Manchester United at Old Trafford in Manchester, England on the 14th at 4:15 AM KST. West Ham are in 5th place with 48 points and Manchester United are in second place with 54 points.
The interest in the press conference was none other than Lingard. At Manchester United, Lingard, who was outside the eyes of coach Ole Gunnar Solskár, had been unable to take a spot after Bruno Fernandez was signed. In the end, Lingard looked for another team, and Moyes, who led Manchester United in the past, reached out. As soon as Lingard arrived in West Ham, he made a big success. From the game against Aston Villa, which was before his debut, he scored two goals and showed perfect performance. After that, Lingard added 2 goals and 2 assists in the following 5 games. Based on this performance, Lingard was also selected as an EPL February player candidate.
Lingard’s lease remains for the next three months. At the end of the season, he has to return to Manchester United, but Moyes said the manager openly wants to sign. “West Ham is in London and has a 60,000-seat stadium that will be full every week. All of these things help us. Lingard wanted to come here from the beginning.”
“When I contacted Lingard, he thought this team was really good. We also saw what we are going to do in the future. We also have national players. I hope to bring such players from the transfer market in the future. “If you think we want to sign Lingard at the end of the season, I hope that Lingard will look good at this place.”
If West Ham play aggressively, Lingard’s chances of a move are quite high. Already, England’s Manchester Evening News reported that Lingard’s progress was “according to a known state that West Ham and many other teams are aiming for him.”
In addition, Manchester United had also set Lingard as a target for release. I wanted to sell it completely by transfer, but the market froze due to Corona 19, so I transferred it to rent. No matter how good Lingard performs, it is almost impossible to push Bruno Fernandes’ position. Since Manchester United has to think about how to use Donny Van der Vick, Lingard has no place to return.
