'Makes the difference for survival', 'We need this' - Many NUFC fans react as update emerges

Newcastle United have struggled to make inroads with Manchester United in the transfer market, but they ‘remain hopeful’  of securing the services of Jesse Lingard on an initial loan until the end of the season before the transfer window slams shut.

The report has come from Graeme Bailey on 90min.com, with the journalist claiming despite an earlier bid being rejected by the Red Devils, communication has remained open, with both clubs confident of reaching an agreement before the window closes.

The news was relayed to supporters via NUFC360 on Twitter, with the fans desperate to see the English international join the St James’ Park outfit.

“Please.” @DarrenReay007

“I genuinely think this is the one that makes the difference for survival, ideally a second CB as well. Lingard arriving tomorrow would be the stuff of dreams.” @MandysMags

“Honestly that would wrap up the window very nicely. Would prefer another CB but I think we will have done enough.” @Goelinton

“Think if we manage to sort Lingard we’re definitely gonna stay up, we’ve definitely made some improvements in key areas tbh.” @Steven05805121

“We need this then we’re good.” @R9Joey

“Wow… How wonderful would that be? Fingers crossed…” @MarkLaw888888

It’s clear to see that they want the deal done, and you can’t blame them when you look at how well he performed last time he left Old Trafford on loan.

He joined the Hammers where he managed to score nine goals and assist five in his 16 outings, form that helped him secure Premier League Player of the Month for April.

After returning from loan, he has only played 14 times for Manchester United this campaign, equating to just 273 minutes of football in all competitions, so a move away seems the best for him personally.
