Paul Pogba is not the only player whose departure from Manchester United has been made official today. A few hours after announcing that the French midfielder will not continue at Old Trafford, the English club has also announced that Jesse Lingard, 29, will leave their squad once his contract expires on June 30.

In this way Lingard, trained at the Academy, ends 20 years at Manchester United since he joined the under-9 team in 2001.
The English international played his first professional match for United in 2014 under Louis van Gaal, and since then he has taken part in 232, scoring 35 goals and dishing out 21 assists.
However, during this long career, United loaned him several times to Leicester, Birmingham, Brighton, Derby County and in January 2021 to West Ham, in whose ranks he gave a great performance (9 goals in 16 Premier League games) that made his return to Old Trafford possible at the end of the season.
However, in the course that has just ended, he has barely participated in 22 games and has scored 2 goals in all competitions.
