Jesse Lingard racks up ‘£300,000 in debt’ months after Gary Neville’s call out

Former Manchester United star Jesse Lingard has been forced to abandon his side business after racking up debts of nearly £300,000.

Lingard played at the highest level for Manchester United and eventually left the club on the expiration of his deal. He joined Nottingham Forest but left England for South Korea when he signed for FC Seoul last year.

Having played at the top for the past few years, Lingard has been able to invest some money into some business, this includes a clothing brand.

However, according to The Sun, Lingard has placed JLingz Ltd into voluntary liquidation.

Per the report, the latest accounts lodged with Companies House show the merchandise firm has debts of £276,883.

The fashion brand had been in the red since it was created six-and-a-half-years ago.

Lingard applied for trademarks to cover clothing, footwear, headgear and his ‘JL’ goal celebration gesture before representing England at the 2018 World Cup

Products went on sale that year but his decision to launch a brand angered Gary Neville and Roy Keane.
