Looked nervous when he had the ball. Showed his usual determination defensively at times though.

Disappointing to see a player letting nerves hold you down for 45 mins. He should be told off at half time just as distraction from the game to straighten his mind.
 
What happens when you promote someone beyond their stalls. For our sake I hope he improves this half.
 
He's so highly rated by some on here, I just don't get it. He's painfully average. Guess he gets the whole 'being from the academy special dispensation'.
 
first really bad game, rooney had 20 out of 25 and is still here so calm down some of you. I guess we should drop Lingard for Andy Pereira for a while
 
Aye, he was dreadful. Lacked any power when going for challenges, created nothing, and looked out of his depth.

He's shown glimpses here and there, but I think a lot of the hope for him simply comes from the fact that he's a youth prospect. I'd understand if he was 19, but he's now 23 and has still shown little to indicate he's going to be anywhere near good enough.
 
I always try and support the youth players, but I just don't think he has what it takes to play at the highest level.
 
Until this match, we've looked better with Lingard on the pitch, even when he hasn't performed that well. Today Lingard was awful and so were we.
 
Not impressed by him so far sadly. His position is such an important one for United. Can see us signing a top RW in the summer and pushing him down the pecking order.
 
Ridiculous that people are ruling him out after this game. Very difficult game to get involved in as a forward player in those first 60 odd minutes. Rooney and Martial struggled too, but I'm sure we're not ruling them out. He could potentially do with a rest though. I think I'd start Mata against Southampton and replace him with Lingard after 60mins.
 
Needs to eradicate the casualness, it creeps into both his shooting and passing. Today he underhit a pass to Young in a promising position going forward and did so again later to one of our defenders, almost putting us in trouble. The rest of his game isn't up to much so he needs to sort it out if he wants to play regularly.
 
I don't know how to describe it. I just have that feeling pereira can be a top tier player but I'm sorry to say, I don't get that feeling with this guy. He can be a useful player for us though.
 
He never really got into the game today. Played a couple of bad passes but didn't really do much else.
 
Would always struggle against Moreno who runs just as much as Lingard does and is much faster. Lingard simply went out of things to try, and when he did try the attempts were poor.
 
Was rubbish. Thought Memphis was equally bad if not worse when he came on. Can someone please talk me through what they see in him? I genuinely struggle to see a footballer. He's so slow to the release the ball it's agonising to watch. When you compare how he plays compares to Martial you can just see the latter is always alive and switched on. Memphis just gets caught out so often.

Yep, both Lingard and Memphis were poor today. I doubt that they will ever be good enough to start games for us, if we want to compete for titles that is. Our wingers are really really poor.
 
Needs a rest out of the team before maybe a loan in the summer. I find it ridiculous that some people think he is an intelligent player.

Aptly put. He didn't look like he belonged, today, sadly. It's all well and good at home when he's got space to run at defenders, but we should rethink starting in games where the pitch is congested, because he simply couldn't handle the lack of space today.
 
I've been defending him a bit, however, he doesn't really justify much of a defense. Given he's relatively young, I'd be willing to give him a bit more time. But decent squad player is probably the best he'll be.
 
Januzaj is three years younger than him and has taken far more stick than Lingard. Just goes to show how much time Januzaj has.
