Dec 6 (Reuters) - Former Manchester United and England midfielder Jesse Lingard will leave South Korean side FC Seoul following Wednesday's Asian Champions League Elite clash with Melbourne City, the club confirmed on Friday.

Lingard, who joined FC Seoul at the start of 2024 after a season with Nottingham Forest, signed a two-year deal with the K-League outfit with the option of a third season but the 32-year-old has decided to pursue a new challenge elsewhere.
