Jesse Lingard gets off the mark! Ex-Man Utd star bags first goal as FC Seoul rout university team 11-1 in behind-closed-doors friendly

K-League 1

Gimcheon Sangmu

FC Seoul

The former Nottingham Forest and West Ham midfielder signed for the Korean giants last month, having reportedly turned down<a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jesse-lingard-wanted-man-ex-man-utd-offers-26-clubs-free-agent-fc-seoul-south-korea/blt5ab1090f60d6c05f" target="_blank"> as many as 26 offers</a> from clubs around the world. Lingard is enjoying his first minutes as FC Seoul continue their pre-season, with their latest match coming against Japanese university side Kanoya. Saturday's fixture ended in a convincing 11-1 scoreline, which saw Lingard get off the mark and get 50 minutes in the tank.

WHAT HAPPENED?

The English midfielder celebrated getting back to match fitness on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/stories/jesselingard/3304601167725904661/" target="_blank">Instagram</a>, writing "50 mins and a goal" alongside prayer and rocket emojis.<picture><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blted6c76e3d5c63dd7/Screenshot_2024-02-17_at_09.59.27.png?format=webp" type="image/webp"><source srcset="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blted6c76e3d5c63dd7/Screenshot_2024-02-17_at_09.59.27.png?format=jpg" type="image/jpeg"><img src="https://assets.goal.com/images/v3/blted6c76e3d5c63dd7/Screenshot_2024-02-17_at_09.59.27.png?format=jpg" alt="Jesse Lingard Instagram '50 mins and a goal'" data-source="IG: jesselingard" data-copyright="IG: jesselingard" data-portal-copyright="IG: jesselingard" perform:prop="uuid:blted6c76e3d5c63dd7;width:844;height:1528"></picture>

WHAT LINGARD POSTED

The match is yet more minutes on the clock for Lingard, who <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/video-jesse-lingard-instant-impact-fc-seoul-ex-man-utd-display-korea/bltbeaaf114150c0986" target="_blank">impressed in FC Seoul's last outing</a> against second-tier side Roasso Kumamoto. The 31-year-old appears to have made an immediate impact in Korea and <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/jesse-lingard-still-got-it-ex-man-utd-star-sublime-volley-fc-seoul-training-debut-k-league-season-opener/blt2e352bfd66295bfb" target="_blank">showed off his talents in a recent shooting drill</a> for the K-League 1 side. That should come as no surprise, though, given his experience in Premier League, Champions League and World Cup campaigns.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

While Lingard is ranked as the K-League 1's most valuable player at present, per <a href="https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/k-league-1/marktwerte/wettbewerb/RSK1" target="_blank">Transfermarkt</a>, other notable names to have played there in the past include ex-Crystal Palace midfielder Lee Chung-yong and current Bayern Munich defender Kim Min-jae.

DID YOU KNOW?

Pre-season will continue for FC Seoul as they gear up for a return to K-League 1 action. Lingard's first competitive match for his new club could come in their league opener away to Gwangju on March 2.
