COVID losses could scupper West Ham’s hopes of landing Lingard on permanent deal
Wage demands a sticking point for Manchester United loanee; Red Devils cool interest in Sancho.
Lingard did not play a single minute for United in the Premier League during the first half of the season but has been a revelation since joining West Ham in January.
Nine goals in 13 appearances secured a surprise return to the England squad and he is as short as 1/10 to make Gareth Southgate's squad for this summer's Euros.
And, according to the Daily Mail, they are asking for clarity from the Government about the return of fans next season before committing significant resources to long-term contracts.
There is no shortage of interest in Lingard, who is still 6/4 with Sky Bet to join West Ham in the summer.
Greenwood emergence means Sancho not a priority for United
SOCCER: Manchester United are cooling their interest in Jadon Sancho, according to the Manchester Evening News.
The MEN report that United no longer deem Sancho a priority, partially because of the form of Mason Greenwood. They pinpoint the guiding hand of Edinson Cavani as one of the major factors behind Greenwood's development and say it could even spell trouble for Marcus Rashford as the two academy graduates battle it out for a place on the wing.
You mess with Mason Greenwood...
