Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is reluctant to lose Jesse Lingard this summer.

That's according to Sky Sports News' Dharmesh Sheth, who insists the Norwegian boss is keen to keep the academy graduate, 27, at the club.

He said: "Like Paul Pogba, he's got a year left on his contract, another option of 12 months as well.

"Manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer wants Lingard to stay, Lingard loves United, but he can't be given assurances on first-team football.

"He's not in the first XI at the moment and very rarely makes the bench it has to be said. He's unlikely to get those reassurances of playing time in the future.

"So decisions have to be made for Lingard, and indeed Pogba, but they will be made once United have a better idea of potential arrivals."
