FOOTBALLER Jesse Lingard has axed his fashion brand after piling up debts of nearly £300,000. The former Man United star , who is currently playing at South Korean club FC Seoul, has placed JLingz Ltd into voluntary liquidation. Latest accounts lodged with Companies House show the merchandise firm has debts of £276,883.
The brand had been in the red since its inception 61⁄2 years ago. Shortly before playing for England in the 2018 World Cup in Russia , Lingard applied for trademarks to cover clothing, footwear, headgear and his JL symbol goal celebration. The first JLingz products went on sale that year, but Lingard was criticised for launching a brand rather than concentrating on football .
