Jesse Lingard says his decision to join West Ham on loan was influenced by advice from England boss Gareth Southgate.
The midfielder made the move to the Hammers in search of regular game time after failing to make a Premier League appearance for Manchester United this season.
Lingard has five goals and two assists in seven games for David Moyes' side and his impressive form earned him a recall to the England squad for the first time in two years.
Speaking ahead of England's World Cup qualifier with San Marino, Lingard revealed he had kept in touch with Southgate and sought advice from him when deciding which club to join in January.
