Jesse Lingard, born on December fifteenth, nineteen ninety-two, is an English professional footballer renowned for his versatility as an attacking midfielder and winger. Currently, he plays for Campeonato Brasileiro Série A club Corinthians, showcasing his skills on an international stage.
Lingard's football journey began with a senior debut during a loan spell at Leicester City in two thousand twelve.

His breakthrough came in two thousand fifteen when he joined Manchester United under the management of Louis van Gaal, quickly becoming a key player until two thousand nineteen.
Despite facing challenges under Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Lingard revitalized his career with a successful loan at West Ham United in two thousand twenty-one, where he netted nine goals in sixteen appearances.
