AC Milan, Barcelona plan pre-contract offers for Man Utd midfielder Lingard

AC Milan and Barcelona are interested in Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard.

The England international is off contract in June and can speak to foreign teams from Janaury 1 about pre-contract terms.

The Daily Mail says Barcelona and AC Milan will be at the front of the queue to sign Lingard if he leaves United on a free transfer next summer.

Lingard has made just one start this season – against West Ham in the Carabao Cup – and has spent more time on the pitch for his country than he has for his club.

He can open talks with foreign clubs from January 1 and it's understood that Barcelona and Milan have both expressed a strong interest in signing him as a free agent.
