In the Asian city, Lingard played 67 matches, with a respectable 19 goals and 10 assists to his name, as he also captained the capital club.
The United alumni will now begin his next journey in Brazil, where he follows in some former Reds’ footsteps in joining Corinthians.
He will wear the no.77 and said: “First, I saw the fans at the airport chanting ‘Go Corinthians! Go Corinthians!’, you know? There’s a lot of passion from the fans, which is wonderful to see. The training centre here is incredible. And the players welcomed me with open arms, the coach, the director, it was great to meet them. My first impressions: very happy, I can’t wait to play.”
Lingard’s one-time team-mate Memphis moved to the club in 2024 and Carlos Tevez played there for a season before joining West Ham United in 2006.
Best of luck to Jesse for his latest adventure from everybody at the club.
