Lingard , 29, was on the same news page with West Ham when his contract with Manchester United expired at the end of the 2021/22 season.

In addition, Nottingham Forest will play West Ham in the first few rounds of the new season, so some West Ham fans plan to throw fake money on Lingard to mock him for joining Forest for money.
