Former Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard is considering an offer from South Korean side FC Seoul, a source has told ESPN.
Lingard is keen to find a club after spending more than seven months out of the game. He hasn’t played competitively since leaving Nottingham Forest at the end of last season and came close to a move to Saudi Pro League side Al Ettifaq, managed by Steven Gerrard, in September.

Despite travelling to Saudi Arabia to train with Gerrard’s side, a deal never materialised and now the 31-year-old is weighing up a move to South Korea.
A source has told ESPN that FC Seoul, who play in K League 1, have offered a two-year deal with a lucrative financial package.
Lingard, who is set to fly out to South Korea on Monday, is yet to formally accept the offer and there remains interest from clubs in Saudi Arabia, Turkey and in England.
