Newcastle unlikely to sign Manchester United star Jesse Lingard

Newcastle United are unlikely to sign Manchester United outcast Jesse Lingard unless he reduces his wage demands.

The England international is supposedly demanding £150,000-a-week, plus a huge signing-on fee to join the Magpies this summer.

The 29-year-old, who scored 35 goals in 232 appearances for United, will leave the Red Devils this summer when his contract expires, but it is not looking like he'll be heading to the north east. 

ESPN has reported that Newcastle's owners will not sanction a substantial signing-on fee or excessive wages to land the England international.

The Magpies were, however, desperate to sign Lingard on loan during the January transfer window, but refused to pay the £16million loan fee demanded by United.
