In United's Premier League win at home to Brentford, Juan Mata, Nemanja Matic, Cavani and even Phil Jones were given the chance to make their appearance at Old Trafford and say goodbye to fans who were either already determined or very likely to leave the Red Devils this summer. But another player on the verge of leaving, Jesse Lingard, could only sit on the bench and did not play in the final home game of the season.
This means that Jesse Lingard will never have the chance to wear a Manchester United shirt and play at the Theatre of Dreams. After the game, his brother angrily rebuked United for not being humane and not giving the club's more than 20 years of academy training opportunities to say goodbye. Lonnick had every chance to replace Jesse Lingard because he gave one of the three places to Brazil international Fred, who could have arranged for Lin Ton to come off the bench but did not choose to do so.
In this regard, Lonnick's explanation is that Lingard is undertrained. "Jesse (Jesse) hasn't been training much lately for personal and family reasons. Sunday was the first time I trained after the holiday I gave him. I must reiterate that I would like to have 5 substitutions in this game if I could. In addition to Jesse, at 3-0 I also wanted to have Ganacio play and play 15 minutes. But I ended up having to choose between him and Edinson [Cavani] and decided to put Edinson on the bench."
Jesse Lingard's brother Louis Scott was very dissatisfied: "20 years of blood and sweat, 4 domestic championships, 3 cup final goals, can not get a chance to say goodbye." No wonder it's possible to play in the UEFA Cup next year. Class 92, Busby Baby, your club is now being manipulated by a bunch of people who don't even understand offside, there is no level, the fans have to be realistic. Good night, God bless you. Joined Manchester United at the age of 9, not even giving the fans a chance to say goodbye, brother don't be sad, your family is still proud of you."
Jesse Lingard himself did not speak, but he posted a photo of himself wearing a Manchester United T-shirt with a deep frown when he was a child, and everything was in silence. The British "Sun" rumors that Manchester United's new coach Tenhag intends to retain Lingard, but the disheartened Lin Huang is unlikely to choose to stay in the team. After all, there are core players such as Bruno Fernandez and Sancho in the team, plus new midfielders who may join, if they stay at Manchester United, Jesse Lingard is destined to be an ironal substitute. Even if Tenhag's coaching level is high, it is impossible to increase the number of players who play.
Of course, since a Premier League game can also be replaced by 5 people next season, the time for substitute players to play will increase, but the goal of the 29-year-old Jesse Lingard is, of course, to become the main player and strive to participate in the World Cup in Qatar at the end of the year. And only by leaving Manchester United can he get such an opportunity. The expiry of his contract this summer is the best time for him to leave Manchester United, choose his next home freely and win the ideal contract treatment.
In fact, for Manchester United, Lingard's best meeting time is naturally last year's summer window. With west ham's power of 9 goals and 5 assists in 16 games, and selling more than 20 million pounds in transfer fees at that time, it was not a problem at all. But United inexplicably gave up the sale and forced Lin Ton to stay, but it was a lose-lose decision, with United losing $20 million and Jesse Lingard wasting a season. Neither Ole Gunnar Solskjaer nor Ronnick reused Jesse Lingard, and england stars naturally did not renew their contracts.
Just look at Jesse Lingard's appearances this season, and you can fully understand his decision. 2 Premier League starts and 14 substitutes, a total of 356 minutes, 1 Champions League start and 3 substitutes, 116 minutes, and 1 League Cup start for 72 minutes.
So far this season, Jesse Lingard has played more than 45 minutes, a paltry 5. Moreover, he is not without performance, Jesse Lingard was a super substitute for Manchester United at the beginning of the season, but after scoring and assisting, he still sat on the bench.
In January, Lonnick refused to rent Jesse Lingard to Newcastle, but he was equally unused, and recently Lin even told Scholes that United's dressing room was a disaster. In his 20 years at United, Jesse Lingard's most glorious period was in 2018, when Jose Mourinho was in charge, and he played 33 times in the Premier League in a single season, more than twice as many appearances as this season.
In the Premier League, West Ham and Newcastle United are interested in signing Jesse Lingard, but his next home is not only in England, but also in Serie A teams. ESPN reported that AC Milan, which is expected to win the Serie A title this season, and former Banba Juventus, have all sent invitations to Jesse Lingard.
