JLingz went from being Manchester United’s biggest talent to being remembered mostly on the ball island for his focus on his clothing brand and a salary of £115,000 in weekly wages at Nottingham Forest for 2 goals and 2 assists during the 2022/23 season. Then businessman Lingard joined South Korean football in 2024 on a two-year contract. Now the 32-year-old is once again on the move.
In February 2024, the former Manchester United player signed a two-year contract with FC Seoul, already next week Lingard will leave the club.
The Englishman himself informs on Instagram about a breakup that comes by “mutual agreement”.

“My time in South Korea has been fantastic – the football, the atmosphere and the passion around this club has been at its peak. I will always be grateful for the opportunity to play for such a big club,” he writes.
The 32-year-old has 66 appearances, 18 goals and ten assists for FC Seoul., the last game will be on Wednesday against Melbourne City in the AFC Champions League.
We are not surprised Lingard is retiring early, since 2021 the player has been traveling, but we are a little curious about the next move for Lingard. Is it time to become a 100 percent businessman and nurture the millions?
