Former Manchester United and England midfielder Jesse Lingard has confirmed he will leave FC Seoul after two seasons in the K League. The 32-year-old made over 60 appearances for the club since joining in February 2024. His final match will be against Melbourne City in the AFC Champions League Elite.
Jesse Lingard, the former Manchester United and England international, announced on Friday that he will depart FC Seoul next week following two seasons with the Korea Republic club. The 32-year-old joined the K League side in February last year and has since made over 60 appearances.
Lingard's tenure at FC Seoul comes to an end with his last game scheduled for Wednesday, when the team hosts Melbourne City in the AFC Champions League Elite 2025/26. This match marks the conclusion of his time in South Korea, where he adapted to a new league after stints in Europe and Saudi Arabia.
No specific reasons for the departure were detailed in the announcement, but it signals a potential next chapter for the versatile attacker, who rose to prominence at Manchester United before moving to Nottingham Forest, Al-Ettifaq, and then FC Seoul.
