MANCHESTER UNITED have confirmed that Jesse Lingard will leave the club this summer.
The attacking midfielder is out of contract at the end of June.
Jesse Lingard will officially leave Man Utd on a free transfer when his deal expires
And Lingard will depart Old Trafford on a free transfer, having joined his boyhood team aged 7 in 2000.
But the ace’s time at United ended on a sour note after his brother branded the club “classless” for not giving Lingard a send-off in front of fans on the field.
The FA Cup and Europa League winner was left on the bench against Brentford as Nemanja Matic, Edinson Cavani, Juan Mata and Phil Jones were greeted for the last time at the Theatre of Dreams.
But in a lengthy statement detailing his playing career and achievements, United thanked Lingard for all the “memories” while wishing him luck at his next club.
It read: “Manchester United can confirm that Jesse Lingard will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of June.
“We’d also like to take this opportunity to thank Jesse for all of the memories he’s helped create during his two decades here and wish him the best of luck in his future career.”
United’s farewell came just days after Lingard posted his own defiant message on social media.
Accompanying pictures of him in the gym, the message read: “Overly focused, it’s far from the time to rest now.”
