David Beckham does Jesse Lingard favour after Wayne Rooney rejection

Jesse Lingard has been training with David Beckham's Inter Miami after departing Nottingham Forest, it has been claimed.

The midfielder left the City Ground last month when his contract came to an end. While he continues weighing up his options ahead of the new season, Lingard was seen at the DRV PNK Stadium in Florida.

The 30-year-old appears to be keeping on top of his fitness after sharing a short clip of himself training, where someone in the background is heard saying: "Six minutes guys, rest there". Lingard was recently linked with Wayne Rooney's DC United.

However, the Manchester United legend quickly shut down the rumours, saying: "The Jesse Lingard [rumour]? I don't know where that has come from. From my point of view we have no interest in signing him."

Lingard has previously said: "I'm considering all options. I've never ruled out any team or club out, so for me it's just picking the right team and it's got to be right for me.

"I just want to play football at the end of the day and that's all I want to do. Obviously the project has got to be well suited for me, the team's got to be moving in the right direction but just regular game-time – I'm still hungry.

"Saudi Arabia are doing big things, and in the next couple of years or so, it will be one of the hotspots to go to. I'm not really surprised that the big names are moving out there.

"Like I say, they're doing big things and it's something I would consider as well – I've not ruled that out either. It's got to be right for me at the end of the day. I've got to go on my gut feeling but I'm still hungry and striving for success."
