Former Manchester United star Jesse Lingard has fueled talk he is joining Inter Miami’s star-studded overhaul by sharing a vide of him at the team’s practice facilites.
Lingard is currently a free agent after being released by Nottingham Forest at the end of the Premier League season. The 30-year-old has been considering what his next career move will be.
He recently hinted he’d be open to going to the Saudi league but his recent Instagram video in Miami now hints he could soon be in the same team as Lionel Messi and Sergio Busquets.
In the short video, Lingard is seen going through a shooting drill with signs clearly visibly in the background saying that he is at Miami’s DRV PNK stadium – soon to be Messi’s new home.
It comes amid reports in Spain that Sergio Ramos could also be about to join Miami, alongside the former Barcelona and Spain left-back Jordi Alba.
‘I’m considering all options,’ Lingard told Sky Sports recently. ‘I’ve never ruled out any team or club out, so for me it’s just picking the right team and it’s got to be right for me.
‘I just want to play football at the end of the day and that’s all I want to do.’
When asked what he’s looking for in his next move, whether that’s the right coach, group of players or the project, Lingard said: ‘Obviously the project has got to be well suited for me, the team’s got to be moving in the right direction but just regular game-time – I’m still hungry.
‘Saudi Arabia are doing big things, and in the next couple of years or so, it will be one of the hotspots to go to.
‘I’m not really surprised that the big names are moving out there. Like I say, they’re doing big things and it’s something I would consider as well – I’ve not ruled that out either.
‘It’s got to be right for me at the end of the day. I’ve got to go on my gut feeling but I’m still hungry and striving for success.’
