Jesse Lingard, a former Manchester United player, is looking to jumpstart his career by offering himself to potential new clubs.

In 2022, after his contract with Manchester United expired, Jesse Lingard bid farewell to Old Trafford. It was a bittersweet moment for the 31-year-old, who had spent his entire career at the club since graduating from their academy. However, with Lingard's playing time diminishing and his form suffering, it was time for a change.

Enter the Portland Timbers of Major League Soccer. Reports have surfaced that Lingard, who is now working with new agents, has been offered to the American club as he looks to revive his career. After a forgettable season with Nottingham Forest, where he was released last summer, Lingard remains a free agent and is open to exploring new opportunities.

While Lingard has been linked with moves to Saudi Arabia, as well as interest from Everton and Barcelona, it seems the MLS is currently the most viable option for him. The Daily Mail reports that the midfielder has been offered a chance to join the Portland Timbers, a move that could potentially reignite his career in a new environment.

Lingard's recent split from his previous representatives was due to their failure to secure him a new club. This change has also caught the attention of United legend Paul Scholes, who recently made a savage comment on one of Lingard's gym workout posts. Despite this, Lingard is determined to find a new team and prove himself on the pitch.

Since leaving Forest, Lingard has trained with West Ham and Al-Ettifaq in Saudi Arabia, but failed to come to an agreement on a contract with either club. Last season, he only managed to score two goals and provide two assists for Forest, under Steve Cooper. However, none of these contributions were in the Premier League, where he only started 12 games.

As Lingard continues to search for a new team, he will undoubtedly be looking to make a strong comeback and silence his critics. With his talent and experience, he still has a lot to offer on the field. It remains to be seen if the Portland Timbers will be his next destination, but one thing is for sure: Lingard is eager to get back to playing football.
