Lingard shows off new look as Man Utd cult hero, 32, stars in GQ Korea advert

JESSE LINGARD shocked fans with a brand new hairdo while featuring in a GQ advert.

Lingard, 32, signed for Korean side FC Seoul last February after his deal with Nottingham Forest came to an end.

Lingard spent eight months without a side after leaving the City Ground, before penning a two-year deal in the Korean capital.

The former Manchester United star has scored four goals in 16 league matches for Seoul this season, who sit seventh in the K League 1.

The ex-England international said: "Every time I get a haircut, I like to brush. I need to be looking fresh.

"Most of our games are on television, I like to look fresh.

"Probably once a week, I get a haircut. Very popular in England, this haircut."

Old team-mate Timothy Fosu-Mensah, who spent five years at United, was quick to compliment Lingard's new locks.

He commented: "I like the hair bro," on his Instagram post.

People online were also quick to react to Lingard's drastic change in appearance.

One X user wrote: "He looks like a K-pop star."

Another added: "Bro actually looks Korean now."

Lingard, who used to be partially blamed for Man Utd's downturn, recently opened up about the crisis at his boyhood club where he spent 22 years.

He told BBC Sport: "They will always be one of the biggest clubs in the world and fans will support them through thick and thin.

"It might be a long-term project with Ruben Amorim. He knows what he wants to do.

"It's tough when you're not in the Champions League to attract players so he was relying on winning the Europa League.

"It's harder to recruit when you're not in the Champions League. It's 100 per cent a factor."

Lingard moved to West Ham on loan a year before his Forest switch and the Englishman bagged nine goals in 16 games.

But he struggled at the City ground, featuring just 20 times before being released after a string of injuries in summer 2023.

He revealed "life's good" in Korea and believes he has rapidly adapted to the different style of football.

The United academy star also admitted to scoffing McDonalds and Papa Johns since moving to Korea.
