Departing Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard needs to rethink his personal demands to find a new club.

Lingard comes off contract at the end of the month, though is yet to tie up a new club for himself.

West Ham United and Newcastle United continue to be linked with Lingard. However, nothing concrete has been discussed.

Chronicle Live says Toon manager Eddie Howe remains a fan of the England midfielder, but it remains to be seen whether Lingard reduces his demands.
