David Moyes West Ham Are Waiting On Jesse Lingard's Decision After Showing Interest

West Ham are still waiting on a decision from Jesse Lingard with the player set to become a free agent on Friday.


The Hammers feel they have made a good offer and remain hopeful he will sign following his release from Manchester United.


Lingard scored nine Premier League goals in 16 starts for West Ham in a loan spell in the second half of the 2020/21 season.


The forward officially becomes a free agent on Friday when his United contract expires. Newcastle tried to sign Lingard in the January transfer window.


Former interim United manager Ralf Rangnick dismissed criticism in May from Lingard's brother after he failed to give the midfielder an Old Trafford farewell against Brentford.


Gary Neville argued Lingard did not deserve special treatment after he watched two United favourites, Bryan Robson and Steve Bruce, sent on their way without a sentimental send-off.


Speaking on The Gary Neville Podcast, he said as cited by Sports Central: "The nonsense over Jesse Lingard, look, Jesse's been at the club a long time, done a good job, but I saw Bryan Robson and Steve Bruce not play in their last games and not get a send-off in cup finals. "One of them maybe is the greatest captain Manchester United have ever had and other one is one of the greatest and they didn't get that send-off, a farewell from the fans. I'm not quite sure why Jesse Lingard deserves it. "I was thrown away at West Brom in a toilet. At the end of the day, it doesn't work out, Jesse.


David Moyes is looking to improve his squad ahead of a season that will see West Ham combine Premier League improvement with a first Europa Conference League campaign.


West Ham completed the permanent transfer of Paris Saint-Germain goalkeeper Alphonse Areola on a five-year contract earlier this week.
