Lingard furious with Man Utd after West Ham, Spurs offers rejected

Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard is angry being blocked from joining Newcastle United on-loan.

Newcastle are desperate to bring in the 29-year-old as they look for reinforcements in their battle against the drop.

The Magpies are willing to put up a massive loan fee in order to secure the deal, but their Premier League counterparts are understood to be playing hardball.

The Telegraph says that Lingard feels United's stance shows a lack of respect for a player that has been with the club for more than two decades.

They add that approaches from West Ham and Tottenham were firmly rejected, due to the fact they are competing for a top four place.

That left Lingard frustrated, but he is still open to a move to Newcastle, despite their lowly league position.
