The Hammers signed the 28-year-old on loan from the Red Devils in January.
And what an incredible signing Lingard has already proven to be for West Ham.
The 24-capped England international has three goals and an assist to his name in five games for the Hammers.
Lingard suits West Ham perfectly. He has added a real cutting edge to our attacking play. And David Moyes will surely be desperate to bring him to the London Stadium on a permanent basis in the summer.
West Ham told to pay £20 million for Lingard – report
It seems as though the 28-year-old faces a bleak future at Manchester United.
Bruno Fernandes will be incredibly hard to usurp in the number 10 position at Old Trafford.
And Eurosport claims that Lingard will cost West Ham £20 million this summer.
That’s outstanding value in our book.
The Man United owned ace is 28, but he may well not have even reached his peak yet, considering how few games (265) he has actually played throughout his career.
The Englishman’s quality is unquestionable. He has completely transformed the way in which West Ham attack as a team.
And signing him for £20 million in the summer seems like an absolute no-brainer for the Hammers.
