SHOCKER! Man Utd attacker Lingard joins Raiola stable

Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard has signed with super agent Mino Raiola.

The Daily Mail claims Raiola wants to work with more English clients and has added Three Lions international Lingard, 29, to his books.

Deals bringing Paul Pogba, Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Romelu Lukaku to United all went through the powerful Italian money man.

But the relationship has soured in recent weeks after Raiola blasted: "Pogba's problem is Manchester United. It's a club out of touch with reality and without a sporting project.

"I wouldn't take anyone there, they would even ruin Maradona, Pele and Maldini. Paul needs a club and a squad, one like Juventus was before."

Lingard's decision will raise questions about his future after he was linked with an incredible £45million swap deal bringing James Maddison from Leicester City to Old Trafford.
