Former Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard has joined Corinthians for the remainder of 2026 after two years at FC Seoul, the Brazilian top club said on Friday.
Lingard’s contract could be automatically extended until the end of 2027 if certain performance targets are met, Corinthians said in a statement on X a2dj.
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 failed to score a goal or register an assist in 17 Premier League appearances.
The 33-year-old Lingard scored 16 goals for Seoul.
Corinthians, third in the Brazilian Serie A, will host Coritiba on March 11.
