Solskjaer agrees time for Man Utd to sell Lingard

Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is prepared to see Jesse Lingard sold this summer.

Goal says Lingard is set to be shipped out at the end of the season, with super agent Mino Raiola tasked with securing him a move away.

Lingard has largely been restricted to cameo appearances in the Europa League and FA Cup, and could only muster two goals in his last 35 games.

The England international recruited Raiola, who remains a deeply unpopular figure among the corridors at Old Trafford, as his new agent earlier this year - and the divisive negotiator could scramble into action despite Lingard's contract running until 2021.

With little progress made concerning an extension, it appears likely Lingard's sale will be used to fund the planned rebuild at the club.
