LONDON: West Ham have signed Jesse Lingard on loan from Manchester United until the end of the season.

Lingard failed to get a place under United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and did not play even in a Premier League match for the squad from Old Trafford this season.

The 28-year-old midfielder had previously worked with West Ham boss David Moyes while the Scottish operator was driving United.

“I’m excited. It’s another new phase of my life,” Lingard told West Ham TV.

“That’s the main target. I’m just happy to play football and get back on the field.”

Lingard admitted his relationship with Moyes and West Ham midfielder Declan Rice, whom he knew while with the England squad, helped convince him to join the east London club.
