So we've established no former academy player has had the sort of send off that would have satisfied Lingard's infantile brother, or you, apparently. Good.
What send off did I ask for?
What has been established is you’re getting rather upset about ‘some form’. Moronic.
His performance alone against City should of been the end of his United career. Never have I seen a more despicable performance in all my years as a supporter. Come to think of it Rashford had a similar type performance and he can feck off as well. Why do academy players deserve recognition when they can't even be bothered to do the minimum, especially against City?
To get respect you have to earn it. You really think he's done enough the last 5 years to "deserve" anything from the club? Should of been binned years ago.
If we’re talking about performances ending careers we’ve a squad full of those. If you haven’t seen a worse performance that his City one you’ve obviously diverted your eyes from a number of games this year, absolute hyperbole. Maguire alone has delivered a Top 10 worsts this year.
As for respecting the club, why no faux outrage for Cavani in your post history? A man deemed fit multiple times but literally staying away from the country on occasion. That’s right because you aren’t really bothered about
respect. If it goes both ways, why didn’t we
respect the fact he wasn’t long for the club & sell last summer? Why did the club attempt to insert a stupid survival bonus into a January loan? I get it’s a football club & our emotions for it are irrational but what nonsense.
The problem with posters like yourself is you don’t like certain players for whatever reason so you come out with things like
shouldn’t play for the club again whilst it’s ok for other squad members to be just as bad if not worse against Liverpool or even Watford the way this seasons gone.
Maybe you’ve not bothered to follow the thread but I’ve explained why seeing an academy graduate who has scored in multiple cup finals leaving which such disdain from the forum is disappointing. Given the few opportunities he’s had this season [also Rashford for as bad as he’s been didn’t start the season] there’s far more deserving of the vitriol but aesthetics. . .
For sure, and I agree with you, there are other things at play regarding Lingard and I’m sure he does have some claim when he says he’s not been treated entirely fairly, but what rubs myself and others the wrong way is how he and his brother go about making that known. The levels of immaturity and unprofessionalism are insane, there’s no where else he could get away with some of the things he’s done and said.
I think we all thought he was going to leave last summer but for some reason the club decided not to sell him, it’s a stupid decision and probably Ole’s fault for not binning him and Pogba or demanding they were both sold at least.
Should Elanga launch his own clothing brand on the eve of a Derby game to maximise the publicity, post pictures of himself on social media wearing another teams colours and cheering them on while United are getting hammered or get his brother to say he’s a prisoner at United and call the manager a liar, then in all fairness Elanga will probably deserve it, but if he doesn’t and he just concentrated on playing football he’ll be absolutely fine. Maybe he’s not good enough in the end but people still have love for players like Welbeck.
As much as it’s shit for Lingard to still be here when he wanted to leave, he and his brother need to realise that he signed a contract to play for United for x amount of years, not a couple of years then piss off when he stops getting games. We need to purge these characters out of the club.
The post from his brother is indefensible. It creates a them & us narrative where United fans are seeing the club criticised by a player on his way out the door. I’ve never seen anything else from his brother but if this is a thing then I’m not best pleased either.
All I’m doing is stepping back & looking at the situation though, so for me this is easily avoidable if the club do the right thing last summer.
The reason I say he deserves a form of send off is because pretty much did it last night for Mata, who despite a few half decent performances suddenly has been riding the bench for years & Juanfield; Matic, who now he’s announced he is leaving suddenly looks as good as he has done for the club & Cavani, who - feck Cavani frankly.
I don’t think you & I are that much in disagreement on this one to be honest.
