Former Manchester United ‌midfielder Jesse Lingard has joined Corinthians ‌for the rest of 2026 after two years ​at FC Seoul, the Brazilian top-flight club said on Friday.

Lingard's contract may ​be automatically renewed until the end of ⁠2027 if certain performance targets ‌are ‌met, ​Corinthians said in a statement on X.

The ⁠England ​international, who came through ​United's youth academy and won ‌the FA Cup, ​League Cup and Europa League at ⁠the club, ⁠moved ​to South Korea in 2024 after a season at Nottingham Forest in which he did not score a goal or get an assist ‌in 17 ⁠Premier League appearances.

The 33-year-old Lingard scored 16 goals for ‌Seoul.

Corinthians, third in Brazil's Serie A, host ​Coritiba on March 11th.
