West Ham desperately wants to sign Jesse Lingard.
Man United midfielder Jesse Lingard had an impressive loan spell at West Ham during the second half of last season.
It would make sense for him to secure a permanent move to the Hammers this summer.
But after a strong pre-season with the Red Devils, Lingard is expected to fight for his place at Old Trafford.
West Ham first-team coach Stuart Pearce wants Lingard to join them this summer.
Pearce said: “We would like him to come and join us. That has been an open secret. He was wonderful last year.
“The ball is in Manchester United’s court. He is contracted to them. We would like him with us, there is no doubt about that.
“He’s a special lad and was very good around the players – the players really like him.
“His ability shone out last year and gave us a great option in our squad. You never know, but at this moment in time it looks like he is fighting for a place in the United line-up.”
