Jesse Lingard to join Nice on loan this month?

Manchester United attacker Jesse Lingard's representatives have reportedly held talks with Nice over a potential loan move to the French outfit.

The 28-year-old featured in the FA Cup for the Red Devils on Saturday, playing 80 minutes of his team's 1-0 win over Championship outfit Watford.

The England international has not been handed a single minute of Premier League football this season, though, and was not even in the squad for Tuesday's clash with Burnley.

Inter Milan have recently been linked with a loan move, but according to Sky Sports News, Nice are firmly in the hunt for the attacker's signature.

The report claims that Lingard's representatives have held discussions with the Ligue 1 outfit, and an official approach from Adrian Ursea's side is expected next week.

The Englishman, who has a contract at Old Trafford until the summer of 2022, has scored 33 times and registered 20 assists in 210 outings for the 20-time English champions.
