Ralf Rangnick has bizarrely confirmed to a Manchester United fan on TikTok that Jesse Lingard will be allowed to leave the club in the summer when his contract expires.
The 29-year-old midfielder is out of contract at Old Trafford at the end of the current campaign and appears unlikely to sign a new deal.
The England star, who spent the second half of last season out on loan at West Ham, has been linked with a move to Newcastle in this month's transfer window but it seems the deal is at risk of collapse.
