Lingard, who played more than 200 games for Manchester United (Man Utd), a famous player in the English Premier League (EPL), and also participated in the World Cup as a member of the England national team, surprised domestic soccer fans when rumors of him advancing to the K-League were raised in a British media report earlier this month.
