Lingard's Latest Jet-Set Jaunt: Ex-Red Devil Eyes Brazilian Adventure with Remo

Picture this: you're Jesse Lingard, academy lad turned international star, and after waving goodbye to Old Trafford you've bounced from London to Nottingham, then halfway across the world to Seoul. Now, at 33, whispers from Brazil suggest you're packing your bags again for Remo in Série A. It's like he's got a footballing wanderlust that'd make even David Beckham jealous.

The lad's career post-Manchester United has been a proper globetrotting saga. That blistering loan at West Ham in 2021? Pure magic – goals galore, European qualification, the works. But then it was Nottingham Forest for a season that didn't quite ignite, before he fancied something exotic with FC Seoul in the K-League.

Seoul Success, Now Samba Time?

In Korea, Lingard didn't just turn up for the bibimbap. He captained the side, rattled in 16 goals across 60 games over two years, and became a massive draw for the league. Contract up at the end of 2025, he was a free agent heading into 2026, with murmurs of EPL comebacks or even a reunion with Robin van Persie at Feyenoord.

But no, Jesse's keeping it quirky. Brazilian outlet Globo Esporte, as reported by The Peoples Person, reckon Remo – freshly promoted to Série A and scrapping in 16th after a winless start – have tabled an offer. Talks have dragged on for weeks, but it's heating up for a deal until the season's end. For a club that's never sniffed major silverware and maxed out at seventh in the top flight, snagging a former England World Cupper would be massive.

Remo hail from Pará in the Amazon region, so expect humidity, flair, and maybe a cheeky alligator sighting. Lingard's millyrock celebrations might get a samba remix.

Glory Days at the Theatre of Dreams

Rewind to Man United, where Lingard was the ultimate squad player with clutch moments. Debut in 2014, but he exploded in 2015-16, bagging the FA Cup winner against Crystal Palace under Louis van Gaal. Then the League Cup final goal in 2017, plus Europa League and Community Shield triumphs.

232 appearances, 35 goals, 21 assists – not Messi numbers, but solid for an attacking mid who peaked in 2017-18 with 13 Prem goal contributions. José Mourinho raved about his intelligence and energy back then, tying him down long-term. Even kicked off Ole Gunnar Solskjær's honeymoon period nicely.

Thing is, Bruno Fernandes arrived in 2020, and with a groin niggle, Jesse's spark dimmed. No elite athleticism or playmaking wizardry, but his timing and instincts were gold. He left in 2022 with 56 goal involvements, a fondly remembered Red Devil.

What's Next for the Wandering Englishman?

At 33, Lingard's not chasing Ballon d'Ors – it's about enjoyment and maybe one last pay day. Brazil's league is on the up, full of technical beasts and passionate fans. If Remo pull it off, it'll be another chapter in his nomadic tale.

Links to England, Spain, Holland? Fizzled out. This feels right for a bloke who's lived the dream but now craves the unconventional. Keep an eye on Globo for confirmation – Jesse might just be trading K-League kimchi for caipirinhas next.

Fancy it, United fans? Or is it time to call time on the jet-set life? Pour another pint and debate.
