“This is the right time to sign him before he becomes too expensive or go to other clubs. He told me he wants to join Manchester United” – BREAKING NEWS as Jesse Lingard reveals what Lamine Yamal told him just few days ago.

In a story that has stunned both Premier League and La Liga fans, former Manchester United star Jesse Lingard has made a shocking revelation involving FC Barcelona wonderkid Lamine Yamal.

During a private chat held just a few days ago, Lingard claims that Yamal confided in him about his desire to one day wear the iconic red jersey of Manchester United.

Lingard, now playing football abroad but still very much in touch with the Red Devils community, reportedly told a close source that the 16-year-old prodigy is keeping a close eye on United’s project under new leadership.

Yamal, who has been dubbed the next Lionel Messi by some fans, is already a rising star at Barcelona — becoming the youngest goalscorer in the club’s history and a regular in the first team under Hansi Flick.

While most of the football world sees Yamal’s long-term future tied to Barça, Lingard’s bombshell statement paints a completely different picture.

“Lamine told me straight — he loves Manchester United. He watches their games, he likes the Premier League’s pace, and he believes he could explode under the right manager in England,” Lingard was quoted as saying.

The former United midfielder didn’t stop there. He advised the club to make a bold move now: “This is the right time to sign him before he becomes too expensive or goes to another club.”

While Lingard didn’t specify whether this was an official hint at a transfer request or just admiration from a young fan of English football, the implications are massive.

If there’s any truth to this — and if United are indeed monitoring Yamal’s situation — then the Red Devils might need to act fast before top clubs like PSG, Bayern Munich, or even Manchester City step in.

Yamal’s current contract at Barcelona includes a massive release clause, reportedly over €1 billion — a figure designed to scare off suitors.

But in modern football, money isn’t always the final word. If a player expresses a desire to leave, the club might be forced to listen — especially if his head is turned.

Barcelona fans will be furious at the idea of losing such a generational talent. But this also puts the club under pressure to keep him happy and central to their plans.

Manchester United, under the new INEOS-led sporting project, have made it clear they are building for the future — with long-term investments in youth, infrastructure, and attacking football.

Could Lamine Yamal be the face of the new United era? Could he follow in the footsteps of Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, and Marcus Rashford to become the next teen superstar at Old Trafford?

Only time will tell. But one thing is certain — Jesse Lingard has stirred the pot.

What was once a fantasy for United fans may now be closer to reality than anyone imagined.

And with Yamal’s star rising rapidly, the clock is ticking. If Manchester United truly want him, they may have no choice but to strike early.

Stay tuned. This story is just beginning.
