Jesse Lingard: Newcastle may walk away from deal for Manchester United midfielder

Jesse Lingard
Jesse Lingard has made just two starts for Manchester United this season

The chances of Jesse Lingard joining the club this month are under threat.

There is no agreement between the two clubs, and that's why the deal is collapsing.

There is a chance that a deal can be brokered before the deadline.

Lingard will be staying at Old Trafford, as the situation stands, according to the BBC.

The attackingMidfielder, whose contract expires at the end of the season, has attracted interest from clubs as he struggles for game time.

The club turned down loan requests from Spurs and West Ham because they didn't want to strengthen their top-four rivals.

They are reluctant to loan the player out as it would end his Old United career.

The whole package for Lingard is thought to be more than 15 million dollars and includes an additional payment to Manchester United if they are not demoted.

Lingard will be a free agent in the summer and he is not thought to be willing to join the club permanently.

The winter transfer window closes on Monday.
