He has hired Mino Rainola as his manager and wants a new contract at Manchester United according to the news.
It's the Wellbeck / Cleverly story again. Academy player who runs around a lot and keeps getting picked for some mysterious 'skillset' which is never actually displayed on the pitch. Such players always remain 'young' and the breakthrough performance is always just around the corner. When it becomes impossible to dust the shiteness under the carpet the narrative is changed to how at a different club under a different manager this player will blossom.Confidence seem to be gone. I think all the hate he gets might effect him a lot. Probably best for him to move. Under a better manager I do think he could play well. At the moment though he looks terrible and he should not have started today.

Exactly this. It's a monumental screw up not playing Gomes from the start of the season considering he is clearly a better player with a higher ceiling, unsurprisingly he will probably leave. Unfortunately, Lingard's form has been a problem for a long time now. All players have bad spells but this is pretty much a bad career at this point. The bad/invisible games vastly outnumber the good ones. I'll always appreciate the FA cup winning goal and the moonwalk against Arsenal, but now is the time for him to be phased out.As many have said this isn't on Lingard. He doesn't want to play shit, it must be eating him up inside looking at the lack of confidence he's showing on the pitch.
It's entirely on Ole playing him every single week. Madness
At what point does it become detrimental to Lingard for Ole to continue playing him?
He's suffering.
Some cheered when he came off.Match going fans are beginning to get frustrated with Lingard.

Infuriates me so much. Bubbly character. What a load of rubbishThese comments, specially about the bubbly personality, show how clueless Ole is. Everything is about attitude and personality, and performance and skills don’t matter? Both Ole and Lindgard should be demoted to the reserves and/or sold.
I also strongly disagree with those saying the wise manager is just protecting a player and ensuring the club gets value out of Lingard when he is sold. If that were the case, Lingard should not be starting any games at all, as he is now under the microscope. If he continues to start games or play as a number 10 a) he harms the team in terms of points and opportunities for trophies, and b) his value goes down as it becomes plain to everyone but Ole that he doesn’t have the skills to control the ball or to pass it as a proper #10, nor the football brain. By this point there is very little value in that asset that Ole is supposedly trying to protect with his wise manager move.
We won the league with them playing a lot. That really proves my point. Most people of course wanted a better partner for Carrick for us to challenge for CL. Still SAF got them to perform well. After he left the levels dropped fast for everyone and with Cleverley the most.It's the Wellbeck / Cleverly story again.

It’s like playing with a man down at times with him on the pitch. Contributes zero in goals/assists and if he isn’t giving the ball straight to the opposition through poor passing it’s from his terrible first touch.
He will be picked again soon, utter trash of a player being managed by an incompetent manager.
This has to be rock bottom for him,being terrible enough to be bantered by a Southern league division one central club
