Lingard is currently plying his trade in South Korea after joining FC Seoul in February. The 31-year-old moved to Asia in an attempt to revive his career, but it's not exactly been plain sailing. The midfielder was called out by his head coach in March for a lack of effort and has also battled injury problems.

Lingard and Jama linked up in 2020 for an open conversation about mental health as part of the 'Heads Up' campaign. The then-Manchester United star admitted that his on-pitch performances had been affected by changing circumstances in his family.
WHAT NEXT FOR LINGARD?
The former England international has been out with a hamstring injury since July. He'll be keen to return as quickly as possible in order to help FC Seoul qualify for the AFC Champions League.
