Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard is keen on a loan move to Newcastle.

However, he's reluctant to consider a permanent transfer at this stage.

The Manchester Evening News says the Magpies are keen on luring the England international to St James' Park before the end of the winter transfer window.

But while the player is open to a loan move, he knows he will have plenty of offers should he run his contract down at the Theatre of Dreams.

The news outlet also states how Lingard plans to assess his future at the end of the campaign where he can take his time on deciding his next permanent club.

United however are desperate to sell the England star in a cut-price deal to avoid losing him for nothing in the summer.
