"After coming up through the club's youth academy, Lingard made 232 appearances for Manchester United and lifted the FA Cup, League Cup and Europa League. He was also a key part of the England side that reached the semifinals of the 2018 World Cup, winning 32 caps for his country."
Jesse Lingard, 33-year-old former England and Manchester United midfielder, is in advanced negotiations to join Corinthians in Brazil's top tier.

Despite interest from MLS clubs, Lingard appears set to continue his career in São Paulo. During his Manchester United career, he made 232 appearances and won the FA Cup, League Cup, and Europa League. He earned 32 England caps and was instrumental in the national team's 2018 World Cup semifinal run. Corinthians currently feature his former Manchester United teammate Memphis Depay.
