Jesse Lingard is gearing up for a return to football as the free agent continues to work out and train alone amid his search for a new club.
- Lingard a free agent since summer
- Winger training and working out alone
- Shared motivational post on social media
WHAT HAPPENED?
The 30-year-old has been a free agent since he was released by Nottingham Forest at the end of last season. Lingard was unable to find a new team ahead of the current campaign but appears to be determined to get back into the game soon.
WHAT LINGARD SAID
The former Manchester United star posted images on Instagram of himself working out, adding the caption: "Gyming".
The England international included in his post a motivational quote that read: "Doors are opening for you. The wait wasn't punishment, it was preparation."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Lingard has regularly shared videos and images of his progress in training and the gym as he continues to wait for a new opportunity. He spent a month in Saudi Arabia training with Al-Ettifaq and even featured in a match for Steven Gerrard's team, but did not end up signing a permanent deal with the club and is back in England.
WHAT NEXT FOR LINGARD?
With teams in the market to sign reinforcements as the January transfer window approaches, Lingard may field a few offers in the coming weeks and will hope to finally find a new side to continue his career.
