Jesse Lingard has been told by former England international Glen Johnson that he will "100% regret" signing for Nottingham Forest instead of West Ham United this summer.
After leaving Manchester United at the end of his contract at Old Trafford this summer, the 29-year-old has received significant backlash for not returning to the London club, where he spent the second half of the 2020/21 season on loan. The likes of Simon Jordan and Richard Keys have been public in their criticism of the Warrington-native for choosing Forest over West Ham.
Lingard has yet to make his debut for the Reds and be afforded the first opportunity to answer his critics. That could come this weekend when Valencia are the opposition at the City Ground in Forest's final pre-season friendly of the summer ahead of the Premier League season starting next week.
