Manchester United blocked Jesse Lingard from leaving the club despite interest from Newcastle and West Ham.
According to the Telegraph, the Mason Greenwood situation affected the Red Devils’ stance on the 29-year-old forward.
The young striker was suspended by the club after he was accused of rape and assault by his girlfriend and taken into custody.
Therefore, Man United opted to keep Lingard and head into the final months of the 2021/22 season with the strongest squad possible.
