Jesse Lingard is in talks over a new £40,000-a-week Manchester United deal.

The 23-year-old Old Trafford winger was earmarked for a contract upgrade at the end of last season but with the sack hanging over former boss Louis van Gaal negotiations were put on hold.

Now, though, talks have resumed after new boss Jose Mourinho was consulted over the process and gave the green light for Lingard’s new deal.

It’s believed Premier League clubs including Tottenham, Everton and West Ham showed interest in Lingard, who played in yesterday’s friendly at Wigan.

But while Lingard is in, defender Marcos Rojo could be on his way back to Spain.

The Yellow Submarine are tracking him and they are interested in signing the versatile Argentina ­international who can play at centre-back and left-back.

Villarreal will attempt to sign the 26-year-old on loan if United hold out for the £16million they paid Sporting Lisbon two years ago.
