Manchester United today following positive one-to-one talks with Ralf Rangnick.West Ham United and Newcastle United have launched fresh approaches for the England international, who is desperate for first-team football ahead of the Qatar World Cup later this year.But despite being given Rangnick's blessing to leave Old Trafford, Lingard's future will ultimately be decided by Manchester United's board, who are reluctant to let him join a rival team.Earlier this month, the club flat out refused to consider approaches from West Ham and Tottenham, who are considered top-four rivals, and demanded the inclusion of a £12 million 'survival bonus' during negotiations with Newcastle.To further complicate matters, the Red Devils suddenly find themselves low on forwards following Anthony Martial's loan move to Sevilla and Mason Greenwood's arrest, and could be hesitant in letting another attacking star go.But Lingard is determined to force through a move regardless, and with both West Ham and Newcastle still as keen as ever to land him, a deal looks likely.The Hammers will be particularly eager to do business with their proposed £50 million deal to sign Benfica striker Darwin Nunez still hanging in the balance, though Newcastle are similarly anxious to get something over the line as it's the last chance they have to bolster their survival bid.Who will Jesse Lingard be playing for this time tomorrow? Let us know what you think in the comments section below...Lingard spent the second-half of last season on loan at the London Stadium and endeared himself to fans after scoring nine goals in 16 matches.The 29-year-old is expected to leave Old Trafford permanently when his contract expires in the summer, though it's understood that if a

Everton are considering a late swoop for Tottenham midfielder Dele Alli.The Toffees would need to sign the former MK Dons star on a permanent deal.That is because they are on the verge of completing a loan move for Donny van de Beek from Manchester United.With Anwar El Ghazi already on loan at the club, they have reached their maximum of two domestic loans in a season.So negotiations would need to be swift this evening to secure a permanent move for Alli.New boss Frank Lampard is a fan of the Tottenham player who has fallen out of favour at the club.Alli, 25, has made just 10 Premier League appearances this season for Spurs.His form has nosedived in recent years and there is a feeling he needs a move away to reignite his career.Alli was a star at the World Cup in 2018 but he has not played for England since June 2019 because of his form.He is keen to leave Spurs and find regular first-team football.But with the clock ticking, it will be a difficult deal for Everton to get over the line.Van De Beek, 24, has completed his medical at Finch Farm today and is finalising his move from United.Everton have agreed to pay his £100,000-a-week wages in full but there will be no option to make the deal permanent in the summer.The Toffees have swooped when it looked like Crystal Palace were set to sign the out-of-form Dutchman from United.Van De Beek has struggled for chances at Old Trafford since his 2020 move from Ajax and interim boss Ralf Rangnick green lit a loan move late last week.The midfielder wanted to join Everton in the summer but the move was blocked by United.But this time he has got his preferred move and will hope to impress in the Premier League in the coming months.

Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick on Monday morning in order to force through a move to Newcastle.The Red Devils midfielder is understood to have spoken to the German coach at the club’s training ground at Carrington on Sunday, where discussions continued into the evening.The Athletic claims the Old Trafford hierarchy want Lingard’s salary covered by Newcastle for the remaining four months of the season, along with a £2.5million loan fee and £12million bonus if they avoid relegation.But with the lofty demands bringing a halt to negotiations, Lingard has taken matters into his own hands.The 29-year-old is looking to force through a loan deal before the transfer window closes.He believes that meeting Rangnick will help push his proposed move and encourage his boyhood club to set terms for a deal which Newcastle will actually consider.That, along with Newcastle’s belief that there may be some flexibility with regards to the figures demanded, have resulted in some late optimism surrounding the deal.United are understood to want a suitable compensation for Lingard, having put huge resources towards the player’s development since the age of seven.Do you think Man United are demanding too much for a player whose contract expires in four months?

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer was spotted in the stands during Manchester United women's FA Cup fourth round tie against Bridgewater on Sunday.The Norwegian was there to support his 19-year-old daughter Karna, who made her debut for the club after coming off the bench in the second half.As such, the pair have become the first dad and daughter duo to play for the club.United ran out 2-0 winners thanks to Charlotte Buxton's first-half own-goal and Ella Toone's strike eight minutes from time.The 48-year-old was relieved of his duties following a dismal run of form which left the club well off the pace in the title race, with a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Watford proving to be the final straw.He was eventually replaced by Ralf Rangnick, who will remain in charge until the end of the season, when United are expected to appoint a permanent replacement.Shortly after being dismissed, Solskjaer said he wanted to spend the next few months "with his family", but insisted that a return to management at some point is almost certainly on the cards."I'll spend some time with my family. That's been probably the most difficult part, through the pandemic, with Norway being open and here being closed, my family moved back to Norway and the young one, he loves it back there, so we've lived apart," he told the club's website.Have Manchester United improved since sacking Ole Gunnar Solskjaer?
