Premier League rule could shutdown Jesse Lingard's Manchester United deadline day escape

Jesse Lingard has been trying to secure a move away from Manchester United throughout the January window, with little success as it is deadline day. He is now facing the possibility of being stuck at Old Trafford until the summer when his contract expires.

West Ham United are interested in bringing Lingard back to the London Stadium. Still, United are hesitant to potentially strengthen a top-four rival with the race being so close going into the second half of the season between several clubs.

This leaves only Newcastle, who were open to loaning until Lingard but were dissuaded in their initial approach by United's desire for a £12 million survival clause in any potential deal, with the deal being dead as of a few days before the deadline day.
