FORMER Manchester United star Jesse Lingard has rediscovered his spark in South Korea.
The 31-year-old scored a screamer for FC Seoul against Gwanju on Sunday.
After controlling a headed clearance, Lingard sent his defender the wrong way before curling his shot into the top-right corner.
Despite the ex-United star’s finish, Seoul went on to lose 3-1 at the Gwangju Football Stadium.
Lingard took to social media to issue a message to fans following the defeat.
Alongside a video of his goal, he wrote: “Last 5 games to achieve our goal 🙏.”
