Jesse Lingard resurfaces after 15 months breaking silence on his life in Korea

Jesse Lingard has finally resurfaced on social media after a lengthy hiatus, and his latest update is bound to warm the hearts of his supporters.

The former Manchester United star took to X (formerly Twitter) to share a heartfelt message about his time in South Korea, revealing that he is not just surviving but thriving in his new surroundings.

Lingard, who made headlines earlier this year for signing with FC Seoul, has been relatively quiet on social media since his move.

His silence came after a tumultuous period in European football, including a challenging stint with Nottingham Forest. Released by Manchester United in 2022 and with limited success at Forest, Lingard’s decision to head to the K-League was met with a mix of curiosity and skepticism.

However, his latest update reflects a positive turn. “Back on X, Korea is amazing. Enjoying my football and in a happy place,” Lingard wrote, signalling his contentment with both his personal and professional life in Asia.

This message comes as a refreshing contrast to the struggles he faced earlier in his career.

Lingard’s journey in South Korea has not been without its challenges. Initially criticized by his manager, Kim Gi-dong, for his performance and effort, Lingard has since managed to win over his coach.

His recent performances have included scoring goals, with one memorable strike in a match against Daejeon Hana.

Despite a narrow 3-2 defeat, Lingard’s celebration after his goal was a testament to his renewed zest for the game.

The ex-United midfielder’s positive update provides a glimpse into his rejuvenated spirit and suggests that his adventure in the K-League could be just what he needed.
