Jesse Lingard’s short spell at Nottingham Forest was a “disaster”, according to pundit Darren Bent.
Publishing their retained list last week, the Reds announced Lingard will be one of six senior players to leave the club when their contracts expire at the end of this month. It brings an end to the 30-year-old’s one-year stay at the City Ground after signing as a free agent last summer.
During that time, he made 20 appearances in all competitions and scored two goals in the Carabao Cup. Injuries hampered him just as he was starting to find form and he struggled for game time after the World Cup break.
