Jesse Lingard confirms contract talks are ongoing


Winger Jesse Lingard says contract talks with Manchester United are ongoing and he wants to stay at Old Trafford.

The 24-year-old has made 15 appearances for the club in all competitions this season, scoring twice, and has confirmed he wants to stay at United despite contract talks dragging on.

"The contract is still ongoing with talks at the moment," the England international said. "I enjoy playing for Man United and my heart is at Man United.

"There's a lot of competition for places but I think that's good for the group. It's always good to have great players around you.

"You have to battle for your place and it makes you more hungry on the training pitch and you know when you get your chance, you have to take it.

"The likes of Mkhitaryan, Zlatan, Pogba, big names in our team, it always good to look up to them and see what they have achieved and obviously we gain that experience off them and learn off them, especially the young players.

"It's always good to have that hunger to try to break into that team."
