Ian Wright has been discussing the potential move of Jesse Lingard to West Ham on loan for the remainder of the season and is excited by the prospect.
The former Hammer was talking about the transfer on the Wrighty's House Podcast.
"There are so many players he is behind now [at Manchester United]," said Wright.
"We are talking about somebody who was an integral part of England at [the World Cup] in 2018 in Russia."
Lingard has fallen down the pecking order at Manchester United but Wright thinks the move to the London Stadium will be a good one for the 28-year-old.
"If it is West Ham and he’s going into a team that is playing with a lot of confidence, I can’t wait to see him without the pressure of United on his shoulders.
"He’s going to play for a West Ham, if you do a couple of things right with West Ham those fans are fantastic,” Wright said.
“I only went there for a little while, but if they see you’re committed and you’re in. Remember, 28 in football especially with him, he’s not injury prone, we’re talking about somebody who is very fit with what he’s doing.
"The only thing that is missing from Jesse Lingard to get back where he is, remember he’s only 28, is confidence.”
Wright added: "His movement, his appreciation of the play, and the way he can play one-touch football is fantastic."
Having been at Manchester United for over two decades a move away from Old Trafford is sure to be hard for Lingard.
However, David Moyes is a manager who Lingard has played under before and both will be hoping to reignite his career at the London Stadium over the next six months.
