West Ham ready to try again for Man Utd midfielder Lingard

West Ham haven't dropped their pursuit of Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard.

The Daily Star says Lingard is back on West Ham's wanted list ahead of deadline day.

Manchester United's refusal to take less than £25million for their resurgent England international killed off the Hammers' interest earlier this summer.

But following Cristiano Ronaldo's unexpected return to Old Trafford on Friday, David Moyes' high-fliers men are in the frame again.

The Irons are planning a cut-price £15m bid to secure a permanent deal for Lingard, who starred at the London Stadium last season during a brilliant loan spell.

Ronaldo heading back to United has totally changed the landscape for Ole Gunnar Solskjaer - especially regarding the Norwegian manager's ever-increasing attacking options.
