A relief pitcher appeared to Jesse Lingard (34), who became a "Nakdong River duck egg" after breaking up with FC Seoul. It is Feyenoord where Hwang In-beom (30) plays.
Utd District, which reported the news of Manchester United, reported on the 5th (Korea time) that "Manchester United legend Van Persie is ready to throw a lifeline to Lingard, who has terminated his contract with FC Seoul."
According to reports, Lingard is currently an invincible (FA) status without his team despite his two seasons in FC Seoul. He is seeking to return to Europe, but negotiations with big league clubs such as Italy's Serie A are struggling.
It was Van Persie, who leads Feyenoord, who reached out to Lingard. The two had a relationship when they were at Manchester United. Van Persie, who has been at the helm of Feyenoord since 2025, is currently in fierce competition for tickets to the UEFA Champions League (UCL).
Feyenoord is currently in second place in the league, but it is not reassuring because it is only one point apart from Ajax in fourth place, the media said. "We desperately need to strengthen our power to secure the second place where we are given the UCL berth."
The specific reason why Van Persie wants Lingard was also revealed. "Shakil Van Persie, the son of Van Persie and the team's offensive resource, was injured, creating a big gap in the offense," the media said. "Lingard's recruitment is a card that will surely strengthen the offense."
However, the key to the transfer is "money." The media pointed out, "Although Lingard is an FA with no transfer fee, his high weekly demand could be an obstacle to negotiations."
The media also compared Lingard's situation with the recent status of other Manchester United youth players. "Unlike Marcus Rashford (Barcelona) and Scott McTominay (Napoli) leaving Manchester United to continue their successful careers, Lingard, who made the brave decision to go to Korea, is currently without his team," he said.
Meanwhile, Lingard finished accompanying FC Seoul in December last year. He chose to go to the K-League in February 2024, but played as a key offensive resource with 19 goals and 10 assists in 67 games for FC Seoul. Leaving Seoul, Lingard said, "My time in Korea has been incredible. He also said goodbye, "I will be grateful for the love and support of my fans for the rest of my life."
