Manchester United manager Ralf Rangnick reacts to Newcastle transfer interest in Jesse Lingard

Manchester United interim manager Ralf Rangnick is happy to keep Jesse Lingard for the rest of the season if a transfer does not materialise before the January deadline.

The Manchester Evening News revealed on Wednesday Newcastle had submitted a loan deal to sign Lingard, 29. United rejected the opening offer but Newcastle are still working on a potential deal for the England international.

Lingard is out of contract at United in June and is not expected to stay, having started just two games so far this season. Rangnick is open to letting Lingard leave but would be content if he stays.
