"We'd like to thank Jose on behalf of everyone at AS Roma for his dedication and efforts since joining the club," said Dan and Ryan Friedkin.
Winger Jesse Lingard has signed a new contract at Manchester United which keeps him at the club until June 2021 with the option to extend for a further year, according to a report on the club website.
The 24-year-old is a product of the club’s Academy system and has been at the club since the age of seven. The Warrington-born player made his senior debut at Old Trafford against Swansea City on the opening day of the 2014/2015 English Premier League season.
He has gone on to make 70 appearances and has scored 11 goals for the Red Devils, three of which came at Wembley Stadium to help secure three trophies. While he isn't a sure-shot starter under Jose Mourinho, his high work-rate make him an important squad member as United are generally competing in several competitions each season.
