West Ham United haven't dropped hopes of signing Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard.
The Daily Mail says Cristiano Ronaldo's arrival at Old Trafford has put extra pressure on places at United and Lingard recognises opportunities of regular game time will be limited.
West Ham are pressing ahead with a £25million deal for CSKA Moscow's Nikola Vlasic and, after the addition of Kurt Zouma from Chelsea for £30m, that would be their transfer budget spent.
However, they are now exploring whether a move for Lingard can be revived.
Ideally, that would be another loan but the 28-year-old only has one year left on his contract. United would need to extend his contract before agreeing to another temporary move so as to protect their asset.
