Lingard has had a mixed experience in the K League so far. He suffered a knee in the early stages of last season and subsequently underwent surgery. In the second half of the campaign, Lingard regained full fitness and started to gel with his team-mates, eventually finishing up with six goals and three assists to his name in 26 league appearances as FC Seoul finished fourth in the table.
The Man Utd academy graduate, who also took in Premier League spells at Nottingham Forest and West Ham, donned the captain’s armband for FC Seoul for the first time in June last year, and led the capital-based club frequently in the second half of the 2024 campaign.
The mercurial forward will be back in action for FC Seoul next month as they take on Jeju in their K League 1 season opener on February 15.
