Newcastle United are reportedly interested in signing Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard but face competition for the England international’s signature in the coming weeks.
Lingard is reportedly one of the players Manchester United are keen on offloading this summer, and Newcastle manager Steve Bruce is said to be a big fan.
However Newcastle fans are not enthused by this news, and have compared Lingard to Ghana international Christian Atsu, who struggled for form and minutes in the last league campaign.
No different to someone like Atsu or Murphy
