Manchester United forward Jesse Lingard teams up with agent Mino Raiola?

Jesse Lingard will reportedly team up with agent Mino Raiola in a move that casts doubt over his future at Manchester United.

The agent, who also represents Paul Pogba, has seen his relationship with United deteriorate, with the Red Devils reluctant to engage in business with the notoriously bombastic Italian.

Lingard has been linked with a move away from his boyhood club following a calendar year during which he failed to register a single goal or assist in the Premier League.

According to the Daily Mail, Raiola has started to work with Lingard in an attempt to establish a broader network of English players.

Recent reports have claimed that United are willing to use Lingard in a player-plus-cash deal for Leicester City midfielder James Maddison.

Raiola, once labelled as a "s****bag" by Sir Alex Ferguson, also represents former United players Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Henrikh Mkhitaryan.
