Manchester United have confirmed that Jesse Lingard will follow Paul Pogba in leaving the club when his contract expires at the end of the month.
The 29-year-old has been with the Red Devils since joining their academy at the age of seven but has fallen out of favour at Old Trafford in recent seasons.
The 32-cap England international’s departure after 22 years at the club was expected after making just two league starts during the 2021-22 campaign.
A club statement read: “Manchester United can confirm that Jesse Lingard will leave the club when his contract expires at the end of June.
“We’d 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.”
Lingard spent the second half of last season on loan at West Ham, where managed an impressive nine goals and four assists in 15 appearances.
The Hammers were keen to make the deal permanent, but then boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer blocked the move.
That led many to feel Lingard could be braced for more game time, but he continued to be unfavoured by the Norwegian and then by interim boss Ralf Rangnick.
His time at his boyhood side ends on a somewhat sour note after being left on the bench for what was to be his final game at Old Trafford against Chelsea, leading his brother to publicly criticise the club.
The announcement comes just hours after the Red Devils revealed fellow academy graduate Pogba would also be leaving on a free transfer on June 30.
