Manchester United great Rio Ferdinand says it's time for Jesse Lingard to leave the club.
Lingard is on loan at West Ham from the Red Devils until the end of the season, but Ferdinand - who played for both clubs - thinks it's time he left for good.
Ferdinand said: "He has experience of being on loan at clubs, this is nothing new to him.
"I think more importantly what's his ambition here, beyond this season. What is he looking to do?
"If West Ham don't put a bid in the buy him at the end of this loan I think this loan has to be seen as a failure.
"That's got to be his aim - to get a bid from West Ham and other clubs to take him out of Man Utd.
"Because I don't see him going back to Man Utd and really affecting that squad now.
"I think they've moved past him with the players they've recruited, he doesn't feature and hasn't done for so long."
