'No way!' - Man Utd fans pile in on Jesse Lingard to Nottingham Forest transfer link

Nottingham Forest are said to be interested in former Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard, following his release from Old Trafford earlier this summer.

The 29-year-old has been strongly linked with a return to West Ham United in recent weeks, with Steve Cooper's side reportedly now entering the race to land the former Hammers loanee.

With wages expected to be the biggest sticking point, Lingard has a superb pedigree in England's top flight.

With news of Forest's interest, many Manchester United fans have since taken to social media to react. With Erik ten Hag now in charge, the side has seen a huge turnover of players this summer, with Paul Pogba, Edinson Cavani and Juan Mata all opting to leave the club.

began by saying: "Fair play to Forest if they pull that off."

added: "You can have him we don’t want him he’s a TikTok footballer."

said: "Didn’t see this one coming. Been some really smart business to date.

tweeted: "He’s a lot better than that."

wrote: "This is the ending his career deserves I've never hated an ex united player this much (except Ronaldo obviously)."

said: "This would be a coup by forest if it happened."
