Ex-Man Utd midfielder Fletcher: Lingard didn't sign with Raiola to stay

Former Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher believes Jesse Lingard wants to leave.

Lingard has been linked with Tottenham and Zenit St Petersburg.

Fletcher told Sky Sports, "It's unknown. The alarm bells started ringing for me when he appointed Mino Raiola as his agent.

"Now you don't appoint Mino Raiola as your agent if you're looking at staying at a club.

"That suggests to me that he's looking for a move. He's not a starter in Manchester United's strongest team, he's a squad player now. Yes, he's come through the club and he's been there a long time."
