Yeah, he had a real chance to make a case for himself while Pogba's been out injured, instead he somehow seems to have fallen even further down the pecking order, no complaints about that. I do wonder if Solskjaer's social media and fame comments were aimed at Lingard. I honestly don't think he'll be here next season.

What was this? Must have missed it somehow
Plenty of average players have featured regularly for England
Interesting. It seems Ole is attempting to change the fundamental culture of the club which can only be a good thing. Funny thing is we've had many posters on here saying what Lingard does in his spare time has no bearing on his on-pitch performances. Seems that Ole disagrees and I'm with him on this.
Yes because off field activities significantly impact performance, because at the level of competition these players are at they need to dedicate everything to football. Lingard instead is dealing with some vanity label clothing furore and piling pressure on himself with his frankly idiotic social media profile.
Yeah, I think he's right too.
What on earth are you on about?
You're blaming fans for how appalling Lingard has been?
Hope he can find form again. Did so well for Mourinho during his second year and also played well for LVG with Martial and Rashford near the end. I don't know what has happen to him because he is not doing much right at the moment.
It is funny to see Jesse get a lower rating than Rojo and Greenwood when they barely touched the ball. This thread has turned into a witch hunt by the same pathetic people that wanted Smalling gone and talked shit about him and now they think he is the best defender in the world after few games in Italy and they also think that Lukaku is a top scorer just because Ole let them go.
Lingard is an absolute 'ghost' of a player. As soon as he comes onto the pitch, he is invisible and we go down to 10 men. pereira is far better, and that is saying something.
Stealing a living because he is 'local', and because we are currently extremely thin on squad players.
I doubt any other team in the prem would buy Lingard, and he would get destroyed in the Championship.

I guess him counting as club academy player will make sure he's part of the squad for a few more years. It's a pity, because when he's motivated he's really a valuable player.
I doubt it, he's already playing second fiddle to Pereira while Pogba's been out, I can see him losing his place in the matchday squad when Pogba returns and Pereira goes back to the bench.
I'm pretry sure the people who wanted Smalling gone and the people who believe it was a mistake to let him go based on his Serie A form are not the same people.
Yes, but it is required to have a brain age of at least 11 to get that tricky concept.
Pereira is a far better fit as a Manchester United player than Lingard. He has determination, endeavour, fearlessness, Grit and actually wants to affect play. None of which Jesse has really shown for a long while.
Thank you for pulling those stats. I should add I was surprised there hasn’t been much difference in minutes/goal ratio with or without him this year. In my mind, we struggle to score when he is in the team and I expected the stats to confirm that. Perhaps I am biased against him.
Thank you. I don’t know why it seems like we won’t score whenever he is on the pitch. As you say, he doesn’t directly contribute. But I thought the stats would show we are worse as a team when he is playing. I will admit I must be biased against him.
He played well against Chelsea in the first game and we got 4 goals in that game. After that we have struggled to score goals overall with or without Lingard. Finally started to score goals again against Norwich and Brighton without him. It probably has more to do with having Rashford, Martial and James playing when we score.
I remember Rio commenting how his life as footballer was counter intuitive to peoples expectations. He remarked how most days he'd watch Coronation Street and go to bed early to be up for training and there was none of this clubbing and going out all the time.
I'd understand if he was the only academy player in the squad but we've got loads. Rashford, Greenwood, Mctominay, Pereira, even Williams now looks like he's forced his way into the first team squad.
I honestly think this will be Lingards final season here.
I still think he can give us some valuable output when motivated. He seems to fit a more vertical style, though. The best version of Pereira is still miles ahead of the best version of Lingard, with consistency being a problem here.
But bare in mind his wages, which are fat, will probably hamper any possible short-term deal.
I hadn't read that article until now, and it gives an insight into what Ole is actually trying to do at this club.
He's trying to change the mentality, the values and the whole thought process of the players for one aim: making us great again.
This is the lack of understanding our fans have with the "Ole out" hype that exists here..
Jesse Lingard is a prime example of a player who has frankly, been stealing a living at Old Trafford for seasons. He is frankly, not talented enough but even worse he isn't motivated enough to be here.
Too much social media, not enough commitment to being a footballer. Shame on the club for giving him such a big contract, sign of how poorly Ed Woodward is running things here and has been for years.
I hope he is one of the next out the door in the next transfer window, he offers nothing
This is even better than @class_of_63 post. I don't think it's even possible...
Seems like a century ago
All those celebrations.... i really wonder what he has planned for his next goal. He sure had time to perfect the celebration
I dont like all the weird celebrations players come up with these days but if it means Lingard will finally score a goal i will gladly look at him doing some dance or whatever he decided to do.
Just seen that his contract ends in 2021, I think we will get rid in the summer.
whats the point bringing this guy on? Dreadful, just runs into defenders
When he blasted that shot over the net i knew it would come back to haunt us. FA cup jesse is dead..
I won't have it. He helped us get control when he has dropped deep into midfield. Did way more than Andreas ever did
He did not score, he did not assist but when he came on it meant Jones was taken off.
That might have been the most important contribution any player made today.

The fact we had a comeback when he was on the pitch is purely coinicdental. He is so poor. Aimlessly dribbling and losing the ball with poor passing to boot. The most creativity he showed today was when he done a little flick in our own half and gave the ball back to Sheffield United on the edge of our box.
His pressing helped to free up Martial, Rashford and James. He was okay today.
he runs around off the ball though, so apparentely that's okay
I'd take him in midfield over Pereira anyday. But they are both quite shite.
He was an absolute joke for the goal as well, what is he doing?

when you see jones being subbed off
when you see he's being subbed off for lingard

Thought he did well when he came on. A lot better than Pereira anyway. Kept the ball well and kept the ball ticking over.
