Corinthians has just announced the signing of Jesse Lingard, a player seeking a fresh start in his career after facing personal challenges. The English midfielder, who emerged from Manchester United, had a standout period between 2016 and 2018 but faced emotional difficulties after the 2018 World Cup. Lingard arrived in Brazil this Sunday and will join Memphis Depay, his former Manchester teammate, at the São Paulo club. The player will sign a one-year contract with Corinthians, where he hopes to revitalize his career. After leaving Manchester United in 2022, Lingard went through a troubled period, including a stint at Nottingham Forest and, more recently, at FC Seoul in South Korea. At FC Seoul, he excelled, scoring 19 goals and providing 11 assists in 67 matches. Mental health has been an important theme in Lingard's journey, as he revealed he struggled with depression during his time at Manchester. Now, at Corinthians, he hopes to find a new home and contribute to the club's success in the 2026 season.
