# West Ham United: Fans erupt over Jesse Lingard update

**Flocking to Twitter, many West Ham United fans have erupted over a fresh update on transfer target Jesse Lingard’s situation at Manchester United.**

The Red Devils ace, who enjoyed a stellar second half of 2020/2021 on loan at West Ham, has been targeted by the Hammers over a permanent deal for quite some time according to reports.

Club insider [Claret & Hugh](https://www.claretandhugh.info/moyes-summer-window-options-crystal-clear/)said all the way back in March that Lingard was a main priority target for manager David Moyes alongside the signing of a new centre-half and striker.

BBC Sport reporter [Simon Stone](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/58097361) believes that the England international is still a target for West Ham but Lingard himself would prefer to see out the final year of his deal at Old Trafford.

Now, bringing a fresh update, [Manchester Evening News correspondent Samuel Luckhurst](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-united-transfer-news-outgoings-21283374) has claimed that United are now open to selling the 28-year-old before August 31 after all.

This is despite manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer[expecting Lingard in his plans](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11667/12358532/jesse-lingard-part-of-man-utds-plans-for-new-season-says-ole-gunnar-solskjaer) for the start of 2021/2022, with the Premier League giants seemingly pulling a U-turn on their stance.
