News about Jesse Lingard

Jesse Lingard has revealed that 'personal strife' led to his taking a break from football and that a left-field move to South Korea provided a much-needed reset. The midfielder headed to Nottingham Forest on a free transfer in 2022 after 14 years at Manchester United . A loan move to West Ham a year prior had proved a success, with the Englishman bagging nine goals in 16 matches, but his spell at the City Ground was a struggle and saw him feature just 20 times before being released in summer 2023.

The woman, who was worried about being spiked, had no memory of what happened after going with them to Stuart's home, according to Manchester's Minshull Street Crown Court. It was only when she later 'pressed' Stuart about the fact that he told her she'd had sex with both him and Cofie. Vanessa Thompson, a prosecutor, told the jury that it prompted the woman to call police because she didn't'recall anything' about the preceding hours, but that she had not consented to the sexual activity due to her 'intoxicated state'. During a night out in Altrincham, Greater Manchester, in April, 2019, the woman and a female friend met Stuart and Cofie, both 31.
