Manchester United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has confirmed Jesse Lingard is part of his plans for the new season.
Lingard, 28, spent the second half of last season on loan at West Ham United, where he excelled with nine goals in 16 appearances.
West Ham, as well as clubs in Spain and Italy, have shown an interest in signing Lingard.
But Solskjaer says the Englishman wants to fight for his place at Old Trafford.
"He came seven or eight days later than the rest but he's a naturally fit boy. He's a man, he played with a few boys but he's one of the men," Solskjaer said.
"Jesse has come back, been bright, he wants to fight for his place and there's nothing better than seeing players want to fight for their place.
"What he did towards the end of last season, that's the true Jesse, that's what we know he's capable of and I think we saw towards the end that we lacked some options at times and Jesse is in the plans at the moment, yeah."
