"Jesse Lingard left Old Trafford in 2022, joining Nottingham Forest for one season where he scored twice in 20 appearances across all competitions. The move ended his 22-year association with Manchester United, whom he had joined as a youngster back in 2000. His Forest stint didn't last quite as long, leaving the City Ground after one season to take up the opportunity to play in South Korea."
"Lingard signed for FC Seoul in 2024 and represented the capital club until December last year, only recently announcing he would be moving on after terminating his contract with the K League side. The 33-year-old looks likely to return to Europe but a Premier League move may be out of the question at this stage of Lingard's career, coupled with the fact he has not been playing in a competition where the level is comparative to England's top flight."
"Lingard is reportedly a target for clubs overseas, though, including one currently coached by a former Old Trafford teammate. Robin van Persie's Feyenoord currently sit second in the Dutch Eredivisie standings, heading the chasing pack behind runaway leaders PSV Eindhoven. The ex-Arsenal and Manchester United striker took the Feyenoord job 12 months ago after a brief spell as Heerenveen boss, also in his homeland."
Jesse Lingard departed Manchester United after a 22-year association and spent one season at Nottingham Forest, scoring twice in 20 appearances. He then moved to South Korea and signed for FC Seoul in 2024, representing the capital club until December before terminating his contract. At 33, Lingard appears likely to return to Europe, although a Premier League move seems unlikely given his recent level of competition. Overseas clubs have shown interest, and Feyenoord, managed by former teammate Robin van Persie, has reportedly sounded him out as a potential signing.
