West Ham remain interested in bringing Jesse Lingard back to the club according to assistant coach Stuart Pearce.
Lingard thrived on loan at West Ham for the second half of last season with his form being rewarded with a recall to Gareth Southgate's England squad.
Since his return to Manchester United Lingard was a bit-part player under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and has seen just six minutes of action under the interim manager Ralph Rangnick. With just six months left on his deal at Old Trafford speculation surrounding his future is in overdrive with Newcastle United reported to be interested in signing the former Hammer.
