Forward "Manchester United" defender J. Lingard does not plan to leave the team in January, despite having 6 months left on his contract. David Ornstein announces that upon the arrival of new coach R. Rangnick, the Englishman will seek to prove his worth in the team. Lingard shone in the second half of last season when he represented "West Ham" on loan basis, and it was expected that he would return to "Manchester United" with a more prominent role. This did not happen, and his only two appearances in the starting lineup so far this season were in the Carabao Cup matches and the recent Champions League match against "Young Boys". Lingard can sign a pre-contract with foreign clubs as of January 1, but it is said that the defender is ready to fight for his place. It is expected that he will not make a decision about his future until his contract expires.
