Jesse Lingard has held crunch talks with Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
The Sun says Lingard has held a candid meeting with Solskjaer and told him: My heart still belongs to Manchester.
The 28-year-old spent the second half of the season on loan at West Ham, where he was such a hit that he went from Old Trafford outcast to an England return.
Although the Hammers would love to make the move permanent – and the player himself still hasn't totally ruled it out – he would far prefer to stay in the north west.
And he told United manager Solskjaer exactly that when they had a frank meeting recently to discuss the striker's future.
Lingard accepted he had to leave Old Trafford in the short-term if he wanted first team football and was an instant success at West Ham.
