Ex-Man Utd boss targets former Old Trafford forward for West Ham

Former Manchester United boss David Moyes has revealed free agent Jesse Lingard has been training with West Ham United for the past three weeks.

Given Lingard is a free agent, he could sign for West Ham despite the summer transfer window now being closed.

And former United boss Moyes has been speaking about his condition. The 30-year-old former United forward was at Nottingham Forest last season.

Moyes told talkSPORT this week: "Jesse has been training with us for three weeks and he has improved greatly since he first came in – he is in really good condition, much better than when he came in.

“When Jesse joined us a couple of years ago he had that great run of form and probably he made the difference for us getting into Europe for the first time. So I want to give him a real opportunity to get back into condition and see how he does.

“He is back and getting much closer to the level of fitness we hoped he would be at.”
