Tottenham in talks with Man Utd outcast Lingard

Tottenham have held talks with Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard.

BBC Sport says Tottenham have spoken to Lingard's camp about a potential summer move.

The Manchester United and England midfielder is out of contract at the end of the season, and his United future is uncertain given his lack of appearances this season.

Lingard, 29, is yet to start in the Premier League and was restricted to just four minutes as a substitute during Monday's FA Cup third-round victory over Aston Villa at Old Trafford.

It has been a major disappointment for Lingard, who was persuaded to remain at Old Trafford in the summer by former boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer on the basis he would get more opportunities.

It is understood Lingard has no intention of leaving United during this month's transfer window.
