Jesse Lingard is staying ready! Former Man Utd star and free agent is 'positive' as he's pictured training hard amid search for next club

Lingard has been without a club since he left Nottingham Forest at the end of last season. The 30 year old is desperate to find a new home, and is keeping himself in top shape. On Thursday, he took to Instagram to share what he's been up to on the training pitch.

Lingard trained with former club West Ham over the summer, but the Hammers decided against offering him a contract. The ex-England international then came close to a move to Saudi Arabia after training with Steven Gerrard's Al-Ettifaq, but talks reportedly broke down over his wage demands.

Lingard captioned his Instagram post with: "Positivity and progress." Last week he posted photos of him training with the words: "Motivation, hunger and love for the game."

The 30 year old clearly has years left in him, but where he ends up playing next remains to be seen. The Saudi Pro League remains an option in January, with the division's recruitment chief recently hinting that clubs will continue to add to their expensively-assembled squads this winter.
