Manchester United boss Ralf Rangnick has confirmed Newcastle United's pursuit of England international Jesse Lingard.
The deal looks like it will boil down to a permanent cash transfer for the 29-year-old winger with the Red Devils not keen on loaning him out and simply allowing him to run his contract down to expiry day in June.
That means either an astronomical loan fee or transfer package that would take Lingard of Man United's wage bill would be required.
