Ex-Man Utd attacker Lingard scores in Al-Ettifaq friendly

Former Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard is continuing his trials with Al-Ettifaq.

A free agent after being released by Nottingham Forest over the summer, Lingard has been training with Al-Ettifaq for over a fortnight.

And the former England international scored just four minutes into Al-Ettifaq's friendly against Al-Khaldiya.

Played behind closed doors, the match finished 2-2 at Al-Ettifaq's new ground, the Ettifaq Stadium.

Lingard had been trialling with West Ham before it was decided he would not be offered terms.

Al-Ettifaq currently sit seventh in the Saudi Pro League.
