Jesse Lingard has been linked with Newcastle United in recent months and rumours still circulate that the 29-year-old Englishman could arrive on Tyneside in the coming weeks.
Manchester United have now confirmed the midfielder will leave the club this summer but ex-Newcastle left back Jose Enrique says he wouldn't have him at Newcastle despite him being a great player.
“Jesse Lingard, I like him but his off the field is what I don’t like too much, so I’m not sure about that." he told BettingExpert. "But definitely, quality-wise, he’s a very good player.”

Lingard regularly played for Manchester United but didn't prosper until the 2015/16 season where he started to reach his potential. The next two seasons he continued to grow in confidence. His clothing line JLingz was released in 2018.
A successful spell at West Ham reinvigorated his career, which leaves Enrique saying: "He’s a good player and he did well at West Ham when he was there. I think he can do well, he’s a player with a lot of qualities.”
