Manchester United attacking midfielder Jesse Lingard has opened up on his successful loan spell at West Ham.
The 28-year-old enjoyed a career resurrecting six-month loan spell at the London Stadium before returning to Old Trafford.
Speaking to The Players Tribune, as cited by Arthur #VlasicSZN on Twitter, Lingard spoke of the comradery amongst the Irons’ squad.
Discussing the ‘crazy’ deadline day move, the Warrington-born forward praises club captain Mark Noble and his influence on the squad.
The 32-cap England ace earned a place back in Gareth Southgate’s plans with a string of superb performances for the Hammers.
Lingard scored nine times and provided five assists in just 16 Premier League at West Ham.
READ WEST HAM VERDICT
A match made in heaven on and off the pitch it would seem.
Lingard was a revelation in east London and a permanent summer switch seemed almost inevitable.
That move failed to materialise and David Moyes opted to sign Nikola Vlasic as an apparent alternative.
Amidst reported interest from Newcastle United, it’s now doubtful if the £19.80million valued man will ever be a Hammer again.
