Jesse Lingard desperate to stay at Manchester United despite Arsenal interest

Manchester United star Jesse Lingard has no intention of joining Arsenal and is focused on resurrecting his career at Old Trafford, sources have told Metro.co.uk. The 27-year-old has played a bit-part role at the Theatre of Dreams this term, scoring just twice in 35 appearances for the Red Devils. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer spent £150m last summer but was forced to offset that outlay with the £73m departure of Romelu Lukaku to Inter Milan. Solskjaer’s decision to press ahead with a £47m move for Bruno Fernandes in January means his summer budget is set to be around £150m and he needs to raise funds elsewhere if he’s to complete an overhaul.
