According to the Daily Telegraph, Lonnick urged his players to maintain the internal dispute, but dismissed allegations of a rift with Lingard.
Jesse Lingard previously denied Lonnick's claim that he was asked to take a few days off to clear his mind, insisting that United had suggested he take a break for personal reasons. This is the second time in less than four weeks that Lonnick has been publicly refuted by his players after Martial refuted Lonnick's claim that he refused to return to Manchester United for last month's Premier League match against Aston Villa. Lonnick acknowledges that any grievances are best discussed privately.
Lonnick said ahead of Tuesday night's game against Burnley: "I've never communicated through social media accounts. I don't exist there and I don't have time to do that, so it's always better to keep things internal and I always communicate directly with the players. I do the same to Martial and Jesse Lingard, but maybe we're not a generation. My generation didn't grow up in this kind of thing. I even remember the time when there was no cell phone or internet, so for me direct communication was always better, but now it's time to look ahead.
Both Jesse Lingard and Cavani were on United's roster against Burnley, with Cavani missing out on the FA Cup fourth round and Middlesbrough due to extra breaks. Longnick insisted he had no problems with Jesse Lingard: "Regarding Jesse Lingard, I have a very good relationship with him and he knows I am willing to let him on loan. He mentioned some personal issues, but we still have to look forward for now, and there is no problem between me and Jesse Lingard. "
