Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has hinted he expects to keep hold of Jesse Lingard this season.

The midfielder, who narrowly missed out on a place in England's Euros squad this summer, shined at West Ham after his loan move in January.

He scored nine times for the Hammers in 16 games and was subject to a potential permanent transfer.

But it is believed Lingard, 28, wanted to stay while at Old Trafford West Ham were unwilling to meet United's valuation.

Solskjaer also appeared to confirm the England international would not leave as he referenced his strength in depth.

He said: "Adding these extra players - Jesse coming back, Jadon [Sancho] coming in, Anthony [Martial] being fit again - gives us a lot more to work with."
