Manchester United legend Patrice Evra believes Jesse Lingard's time will come.

Lingard has not played for the entire season so far, as he left Nottingham Forest on a free transfer in the summer.

While he did train with West Ham for a spell, Lingard could not agree a contract with any team in the world.

Lingard posted himself training on social media, which led to Evra making a comment.

He wrote on the platform: Your time coming soon brother keep working hard."

I'm considering all options," Lingard told Sky Sports on his future recently.

I've never ruled out any team or club out, so for me it's just picking the right team and it's got to be right for me. I just want to play football at the end of the day and that's all I want to do.

Obviously the project has got to be well suited for me, the team's got to be moving in the right direction but just regular game-time I'm still hungry."
