SPORTEx-Man Utd player close to joining Jordan Henderson at Al-Ettifaq

Former Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard, is reportedly close to teaming up with former Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson at Saudi Arabian side Al-Ettifaq.

Lingard has been available on a free transfer since leaving Nottingham Forest at the end of the last season.

The 30-year-old spent time training with DC United and West Ham United over the past couple of weeks.


He is currently training with Saudi Pro League outfit Al-Ettifaq with the hope of bagging a full-time contract.

According to 90min, Al-Ettifaq have started the process of handing Lingard a new contract.

The Saudi club are reportedly ready to offer Lingard a deal if he can prove his fitness at their facilities over the next few weeks.
