Manchester United player, Jesse Lingard is reportedly set to miss the start of the new season after testing positive for Covid-19, Newspremises reports.

The England international, 28, had featured in all three of Manchester United's pre-season friendly fixtures but is not available for the final test against Everton on Saturday lunchtime.

United confirmed his absence in a statement on their club website ahead of kick-off although there is no time frame given over his possible return.

"Unfortunately, Jesse Lingard is unavailable after testing positive for Covid-19," the statement read. "He is isolating in line with Government and Premier League Guidelines."

Lingard joins goalkeeper Dean Henderson who is still recovering from Covid-19 after he had tested positive weeks back.

At least he's been positive about something at the Club

But seriously, it is high this dude moves elsewhere...setting the league aglow with West Ham last year won't guarantee him a regular spot in Man Utd's matchday squad.

He doesn't miss Manchester he misses his team mates especially Pogba

As if those his teammates would rather stay out of the first 11 for him to be included...

Las las nah all man for himself...It is through one's achievement one would be remembered
