Jesse Lingard Claims Lamine Yamal Wants to Join Manchester United
In a recent interview, Jesse Lingard, the former Manchester United midfielder now playing for FC Seoul, revealed that Barcelona prodigy Lamine Yamal has shown interest in moving to Manchester United. Lingard urged the club to act quickly to secure the young star before his value increases or other clubs make a move.
“This is the right time to sign him before he becomes too expensive or goes to other clubs. He told me he wants to join Manchester United,” Lingard reportedly said.
At just 17, Lamine Yamal has already made a name for himself by breaking into Barcelona’s first team and impressing both at club level and on the international stage. He played a key role in Spain’s Euro 2024 victory and is now considered one of the most promising young players in the world, with a market value estimated at £150 million.
Lingard’s remarks have sparked debate in the football world. Some see it as a major opportunity for United to invest in a future superstar, while others are skeptical due to Yamal’s current contract and status at Barcelona.
With the summer transfer window nearing, fans and analysts are watching closely to see if Manchester United will pursue Yamal. So far, the club has not made any public statement regarding Lingard’s comments, but transfer surprises are always a possibility in the fast-moving world of football.
