Lingard, the highest paid K-League player, sees his team FC Seoul sit fifth in the table.

He said on social media: "Back on X, Korea is amazing. Enjoying my football and in a happy place".

"He only played a few minutes, and yet he didn't work hard and avoided tussle," ex-boss Kim Gi-dong said of Lingard a few months ago, as per South Korean newspaper JoongAng Daily. 

"If you run less than a footballer who has played 90 minutes, you're not even a footballer. Fame doesn't win football games. If it did, I would have brought in a famous retired player."
