Amidst the unclear futures of multiple players before a complete squad overhaul at Manchester United, Jesse Lingard is set to be offered a new contract with a pay-rise by Ole Gunnar Solksjaer.
Jesse Lingard, a product of the youth academy of Manchester United, has represented the Red Devils since 2011. The 26-year-old had debuted for the Red Devils at the age of 18 years. Ever since then, Lingard has been in and out of the team for them.
