Jesse Lingard | Seoul singer

It's especially bizarre when you consider Lingard essentially blamed United for wasting a year of his career after the West Ham loan. He's now free to do as he pleases and he hasn't been able to find a club for the last 6 months.

It points to how toxic the culture at this club is/must've been if you have multiple senior players like him and De Gea who are happy to not play football for months at a time because the contract doesn't quite suit them. Their egos must be huge.

That was nonsense as he was obviously angling to run his contract down.
 
To be fair, he's being sort of smart with investing his money instead of blowing it all on drink and gambling.

He's a businessman, not a footballer.

His career at top level is over because everybody can $ee where hi$ focu$ i$.
 
Just opened an aptly named restaurant in Wilmslow



Why do footballers persist with their outfits? That sweater must be the worst I've seen in ages. It takes about 10 minutes trying to read the crap on it as well - great for making eye contact.

The funny thing about him now is that there are discussions about him wasting his career. Imo, he was lucky as feck to have a career at the level he did. Nowhere near the talent or quality for a United level player.
 
When he runs out of money. Which given some of his investments won't be long...

I do hope his restaurant goes OK though. Brave though in this financial climate.

Brave is one way to describe it. As you say its not a great time to open a restaurant. And considering the success of his previous business ventures I wouldn't bet on this one being a success. I wish him luck though.

Most restaurants fail, it's a highly competitive market, and it's even harder when you have zero experience of running one. It seems that Jesse just simply starts businesses for the things he likes doing in his spare time (shopping/eating out/playing games) without any idea other than "why not? Can't be that difficult?".

Didn’t read the article then mate? Jake Shaffi is his partner who’s worked in the industry for years
 
Jerk Junction in Chorlton makes really good food. If I'm ever by them Wilmslow sides I might stop by his to see if it measures up
 
I definitely think the gaming aspect will be a contributing factor to him going to Korea
 
I can't stand the guy. Why not pick a bloody club then instead of briefing the press about how 26 clubs want you, when one of them is probably salford. One of the most irritating, symbolically disturbing footballers of modern times.
 
Here right now and heading for some tonight. Look forward to seeing Jesse in and around Gangnam.

I was there a few weeks ago.

Apart from Tokyo, i can’t think of many funnier places to stumble around shitfaced in. You’ll have to proper feck up in order to get in trouble.

I usually want to be in control of the bbq, so it’s always funny to end up at places where they insist on doing it. An elderly korean woman had a proper go at me for salting the beef while it was on the grill, she was running around the place sorting out the grills for a large number of people, just constantly moving between tables and sorting stuff out.

Lingard will absolute love the attention he’ll get over there.
