Jesse Lingard has spoken out for the first time since sacking his agents after posting a defiant social media post vowing people would eventually understand his decision.
As reported by Mail Sport, former Manchester United forward Lingard dismissed his representatives in his dramatic bid to secure a deal with a new club this year.
He is thought to be frustrated with a number of contract offers failing to develop and has remained a free agent for six months despite past interest from overseas.
Lingard last turned out for Nottingham Forest but departed last summer after his one-year deal expired.
