Brother of Jesse Lingard has hit out at Manchester United as a move to Newcastle United stalls.
The 29-year-old outcast has barely played for the Red Devils this season, with several Premier League sides interested in signing him before the January transfer window closes on Monday.

But United have reportedly set eye-wateringly high demands for a temporary switch to the Magpies, leading Lingard’s brother Louie Scott to compare his sibling’s situation at Old Trafford to that of a prisoner.
Scott posted on his Instagram account a year to the day after Lingard joined West Ham on loan, with a picture of the United academy product celebrating a goal for the Hammers.
The caption read: “A year ago today he was ‘allowed’ out on day release,” followed by three cry-laughing emojis, with “Now we know what Akon felt like,” written underneath the image.
American-Senegalese artist Akon’s lead single from his hit debut album was ‘Locked Up’, a track containing the lyrics: ‘I’m locked up, they won’t let me out’.
