Manchester United let Jesse Lingard join Birmingham on loan
MANCHESTER UNITED have allowed Jesse Lingard to join Birmingham on a month-long loan.
The 20-year-old attacking midfielder arrives at St Andrew's to help strengthen a Blues squad that have won just one of their opening seven Championship games so far this season.
The youngster who won the 2011 FA Youth Cup, will be available to play for the Blues until 20 October.
A statement on United's club website read: "Most recently, the Warrington-born forward also made his England Under-21s debut, coming on as a second-half substitute during a 6-0 demolition of Scotland in August.
"He will wear the no.9 jersey for Birmingham and could make his debut against Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday."
Lingard is available to make his debut at home to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.
