Nice 'join the race to sign out-of-favour Manchester United playmaker Jesse Lingard'... but 'Newcastle are still trying to convince Red Devils to sell 29-year-old this month'

Ligue 1 side Nice are reportedly interested in signing Jesse Lingard and have entered the race for the Manchester United playmaker.

The 29-year-old, who flourished on loan at West Ham in the second-half of last season, has again struggled for game-time at Old Trafford this season.

His contract at the Red Devils expires at the end of the season and with an extension unlikely, United could sell this month to avoid losing Lingard on a free this summer.
