Jesse Lingard will train with Saudi Pro League club Al-Ettifaq for a month as the former Manchester United forward ponders his next move. Al-Ettifaq, managed by Steven Gerrard, confirmed the decision on Friday, with Lingard still without a club almost two months into the season.
A club statement read: “The agreement has been reached for the English player Lingard to join Fares Al-Dahna’s training for a month.
“The management of Al-Ettifaq Club, headed by Mr. Samer Al-Meshal, approved the Football Committee’s recommendation to accept the request of the English player Jesse Lingard to join the training of the first football team at Al-Ittifaq Club for a period of one month.
“Lingard’s choice of Fares Al-Dahna comes because of his history and heritage, in addition to the stardom of the team’s players and the professionalism of the administrative and technical work within the corridors of the club.”
