Manchester United's move to Newcastle United has collapsed. According to British media, the club's top management called Lin Huang at 23:00 late at night to inform him that Newcastle had not accepted the club's £12 million relegation bonus, so he could not rent out to join the Magpies. In response, Jesse Lingard was shocked and left shocked.
According to United's list price, If Newcastle wants to get Jesse Lingard, it will have to pay a total of £16.5 million. For a player with only the last half of his contract left, this is naturally a sky-high price. Britain's "Daily Mail" disclosed that the senior executive who called also asked Lingard what he thought about this. Lin Huang felt speechless because he had made it clear that he wanted to leave the club.
Currently, Jesse Lingard, along with his friend Marcus Rashford and other Manchester United team-mates Ronaldo, Pogba and Diogu Dalo, are on holiday in Dubai, practicing at the local elite training centre to stay fit during the holiday. These United team-mates, after hearing about What happened to Lingard, have been quite critical of the club's approach, and they believe that Lin Huang deserves to be treated better.
Lingard's agent team believes that Manchester United are worried that if the British Emperor star performs well after renting out again, it will appear that the club will not use his decision to be stupid, which is a retaliation by the top for not renewing Lingard's contract.
"United are afraid (petrified) Jesse [Jesse Lingard] to join another team and play well, proving that they have no vision. They don't want to repeat the mistakes of the past, and he almost helped the team into the Champions League last season at West Ham. The source said: "Jesse is popular among Manchester United players and they feel sorry for him. The way the club treated Jesse, considering he had been at Manchester United for so long, sent the wrong message to the rest of his team-mates. Jesse's experience fully illustrates the current situation of Manchester United, Jesse would rather play in the relegation team than stay here."
This transfer window is Manchester United's last chance to sell Jesse Lingard for a certain transfer fee. However, United feel that if Jesse Lingard signs a longer contract, he will be worth £50 million. Such an assessment would be unrealistic for a 29-year-old, especially since United didn't make him a premier league start at all.
United may also be worried that once Newcastle stays in the Premier League, it may recruit and surge in strength, becoming a direct opponent for its future competition for the fourth place. Newcastle fans are angry at Manchester United's price tag, although the Magpies were acquired by the Saudi consortium and the value of the Premier League relegation is as high as 100 million pounds, but this does not mean that the club should operate like Manchester United and throw money at will.
The most puzzling aspect of United's selling operation is that the club could have sold Jesse Lingard for £20 million last summer, but it had to keep him, and then even if Jesse Lingard scored 2 goals and assisted 2 assists at the beginning of the season, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer did not use it, and then Lonnick felt that Lin Huang was leaving, and there was no need to reuse him. By the time Jesse Lingard's contract enters the final six months, United will have to ask for a high price of £12 million. The final result, of course, is that Jesse Lingard will stay in the team, take a weekly salary of 100,000 pounds for half a season, and leave the team with zero transfer fee this summer. Last season, Argentina's former international Sergio Romero experienced exactly the same experience.
