Lingard joined West Ham from Manchester United on loan for the rest of the season on Friday.

The England international has reunite with his former manager, David Moyes, at West Ham after falling out of favour with Man United boss, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer at Old Trafford.

“I am excited,” Lingard told West Ham TV.

“It is another new chapter in my life. Nothing is guaranteed, but I have come here to work hard and help the team and bring my experience.

“That is the main aim. I just want to enjoy my football and get back playing again and get my feet back on the pitch.

“There were lots of clubs involved, but, for me personally, I felt this was the right move. I have obviously had a previous relationship with the manager as he was at Man U and I have played under him before, so he knows my qualities and what I can bring to the team.”
