West Ham boss Moyes: We want Lingard; it's up to Man Utd

West Ham boss David Moyes retains hope of signing permanently Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard.

Lingard, 28, has scored nine goals and set up five more in 15 games since joining on loan from Manchester United in January.

In doing so, he has revived his club and international career, but his displays have also increased his value and number of admirers.

Moyes said: "I couldn't say any more than I'm hopeful Jesse might want to come here, that's up to Manchester United, but he's been a positive signing."

West Ham need a point from their final game of the season, at home against Southampton, to secure a Europa League place.

Moyes said: "We have equalled the club points record and have a chance to beat that and also get European football so I am really hopeful that we can get there. But I am not taking anything for granted."
