Manchester United could command £80m if Jesse Lingard joins Chelsea

Manchester United could demand an £80m fee for midfielder Jesse Lingard after a storming World Cup with England, says football finance expert Kieran Maguire.
And the most likely club would be Premier League rivals Chelsea.
He told Starsport exclusively: "They certainly don't need to sell him – they're well within their limits of FFP and have plenty of cash in the bank.
"But they may be looking to recoup the money they spent on Lukaku.
"Lingard is in a premium position – so United would be looking for at least £80m from his sale.
"You'd have to look domestically, only Chelsea would be interested unless [Pep] Guardiola feels he can develop him further.
"But the chances of him going to Manchester City are slim."

“As far as I know, he’s already signed a contract with Chelsea. I think they’re a good option for him.
“It’s a big responsibility for him, but one that he’s prepared for.”
