Jesse Lingard seems to be a forgotten man at Old Trafford this season and with the January transfer window now open, could he be on the move?
The shortest-priced option to be his next club is Sheffield United who are 2/1 with Unibet* (betting odds recorded at 21:55 GMT on January 6th 2021).

The 28-year-old is linked with Manchester United through 2022 because of a one-year contract extension that the club triggered.
So the question is, are Manchester United ready to sell the player at the moment? Maybe not.
Loan deal for Lingard?
Most of the rumours about Lingard are loan deals with the likes of Sheffield United and Aston Villa being touted.
That’s the option that would suit the Red Devils fine. They would get Lingard some playing time in the hopes of him returning to top form and fitness.
At the same time, they get to keep a hold of him until potentially a better selling time in the summer if need be.
Blades the favourites
But it’s Sheffield United who are the 2/1 favourites to be Lingard’s club after the January transfer window* (betting odds recorded at 21:55 GMT on January 6th 2021 with Unibet).
Sheffield United remain without a win this season at the foot of the Premier League table.
Aston Villa meanwhile, who are at 16/1 would potentially be a better fit for Lingard in terms of playing style and ambition* (betting odds recorded at 21:55 GMT on January 6th 2021 with Unibet).
The Villains are only three-points out of the top four at the moment.
Other Premier league destinations for Lingard in the betting market are touted as being West Ham and Crystal Palace who have been hovering around the 10/1 mark to be his next club* (betting odds recorded at 21:55 GMT on January 6th 2021 with Unibet).
