Manchester United attacker Jesse Lingard emerges as a transfer target for Atletico Madrid, according to a report.

Atletico Madrid are reportedly interested in signing Manchester United attacker Jesse Lingard during this summer's transfer window.

The 28-year-old spent the second half of last season on loan at West Ham United, scoring nine times and registering five assists in 16 appearances for the Hammers during a successful spell.

David Moyes's side are said to be keen to sign the attacker on a permanent deal this summer but could struggle to afford him.

According to 90min, La Liga champions Atletico have already approached Man United to register their interest in the England international ahead of the 2021-22 campaign.

The report claims that the Spanish club's head coach Diego Simeone is a 'big fan' of Lingard due to his energy and ability to play in a number of different forward areas.

The Englishman's existing deal at Old Trafford is due to expire next summer, but the Red Devils are still said to be asking for a transfer fee in the region of £25m.
