So you want him to stay or what. He is dead weight that needs to leave asap.
He will free up space on the bench for starters and we don't have to see the face of any players who are not fully aboard the RR ship.
Jesse Lingard 'to leave on a free'

how do you know Ole wouldn’t let him? It’s just guesswork
I understand why players do it but I don’t remember many doing it by sitting on the bench during their prime years for 2/3 years, do you?
Why are people so hostile towards him? If you want to be hostile towards anyone over this situation, it's the club for overvaluing him and pricing him out of a move last summer. Also Ole had a big hand to play in this situation by telling Lingard he'll get minutes, despite giving him barely any.
Eh? Still good to get rid of players who blatantly aren't good enough. Don't think anyone insinuated it would 'change anything'.
How come we didnt manage to sell him for a transfer fee? Incompetent idiots
Do any of you pay for Lingard's stay at this club? Why should you care?
Perhaps as we're fans of the club.
Of course football fans pay the clubs expenses. They don’t allow us to watch for free legally, nor give away merchandise.
If he has the club at heart he’d ask to be sold and raise some funds for the club he supports
Squad space for me, if injuries happen I would rather give minutes to promising youngsters than someone who has no chance of ever being in the first XI here simply
Mediocre player we didnt need. We put him in the shop window with that loan last jan and then refused to sell him. Silly management from us. Not that fussed he is leaving but we should have just sold him when we had the chance. Our record of getting fees for players is shocking
Maybe Ralf likes him and has told him that he will get chances. We don't know the full story.
If he is just collecting his paycheck until the summer then it is quite pathetic. Any player who puts money before playing is not a proper proffesional footballer.

Because the club decided to hand a contract to an incompetent manager. This is on ole who clearly didn't know what he was doing with his transfer dealings and has had just as much of a scatter gun approach as the previous 3 managers before him
Best for the player if he goes, best for the club if he goes. Would have been all the better if we had a plan such as loan him out to a mid table club where hed become their best player then sell him to that club for a nice little lift....o well
Can't blame him at all but it's our fault for not trying to sell him in the summer
There are things we can do. Ask him to extend -2 years from expiry. If he doesnt sign, flog him off or bench him.
We probably ended up with an unhappy player, just to prove a point for future contract rollers.
Mbappe on a free silly.
If he is leaving for free in the summer then get him loaned out in January. No point him sitting about and he could command a decent loan fee/ get some of his wages paid.
Find it mental we didn’t sell him in the summer, he was never going to be a regular.
I just cant stand him, literally everything about him annoys me and I just cant wait to see the back of him. A combination of being a bit flash and utterly childish just presses my buttons.
Fans are the reason he is able to be paid so handsomely...
Sad to see that he's effectively accepted wasting another few months, but I suppose the pay off financially will be big.
I had thought my post was fairly straight forward to understand given the post I replied to but apparently I was wrong
It's the excitement over him leaving, I'm seeing around the place, I was referring to. I replied to someone who said they can't wait til he's gone. That would suggest there is something to be excited about which I don't see. He goes and there's a space in the squad and a bit of a drop in the wage bill.
Yeah i dislike him for the same reason. I don't have to like everyone though so that's fine.
I'm more angry at Ole and the club for not selling him in the summer. Poor decision and we should have taken what we could.
Lingard is definitely doing what's best for himself. Arguably a lack of loyalty but he probably knows 10mil is nothing to the club so why not make money before he retires.
The way we handled him was weird. He was sent to WH either to get games and raise his value or to rediscover his form and make him a useful player for us. Ole suggested it was the latter and then never played him and ran his value into the ground. Again. The last couple of years have been a massive waste of time for everyone involved.
Will free a spot for a youth player, who I’d rather see given the chance, rather than this leech.

Well, he's always been a highly divisive player, so it seems pretty normal that some can't wait to get shot of him.
I personally haven't given a feck about him in a long while, as he hasn't really been near the team. I'll be happy enough when he leaves though, as it's another player moved on who has far out-stayed their welcome.
IDK why people are surprised. He's obviously going to get a lot more offers in the summer than in January. At 29 this is his last big contract.
People need to take a chill pill. Yes Lingard was rubbish for us for quite a while - he didn't force the manager to pick him though. He also didn't force the club not to sell him to West Ham at a cheaper price. He's had personal issues to deal with too.

I've never understood why anyone cared about this. It's just two young guys being silly and having a laugh. Maybe they don't need to share something like that, but we also don't need to watch it if we don't want to. It doesn't say anything about them as players
If he intends to run down his contract, which he’s perfectly entitled to, then I hope he also understands that he will probably not play in the first team again as Ralf wants to work with players that will be here next season.
Any Jesse minutes are better utilised with Amad, Elanga, Shoretire etc.

Happily take that plus be rid of the general negativity around his continuous pointless presence. It's been going on for too long. Call it excitement if you want, it's more an eagerness to close this chapter. You are free to maintain an I don't care if he stays or goes stance, but is hardly surprising but most want him gone sooner rather than later.
Not really.
He's got a very finite amount of time left playing football.
Every extra month he stays with Manchester United is another loved one who is potentially set up for life.
Would you not like to provide and see your kids, your nephews, nieces, grandchildren, their partners and families etc etc live a comfortable and happy life where they don't have to struggle to get by?
Wouldn't be quick to judge anyone for putting financial decisions ahead of football ones. Much more to life than football.
If I'm not mistaken, doesn't the bulk of hatred stem from the situation when our team bus was being attacked, he was filming himself and others while joking around about it?
Shame we didn't capitalize on the purple patch he had with WHU. Could've killed two birds with one stone - Jesse leaves the club while we get a tidy sum for him.
He's been a good servant to the club and it did seem like he was always trying to give his all, but at the end of the day, it just wasn't enough for a club of our stature. Best of luck to him wherever he ends up.

He has been a great servant for the club
we should have sold him in the summer but Ole promised him false game time.
He is definitely not a mediocre player and he has been a good squad player when fit.
We need to stop slagging off our squad players as we need a big squad to win anything
We seem to want to pick on some scapegoat to have a go at when we are not doing well, we need the same wit Smalling, Lukaku, Young, Andreas, Martial, Mcfred etc
I wonder who the scapegoat for next season would be?

His showing in that CL game against Young Boys does not scream commitment.
He's literally here for the vibes until June and then he's off.

I never said I don't care if he stays or goes. You're reading into my post and seeing things which aren't there.
Of course, he should go as I don't see a future for him at United and he'd be better off getting regular game time elsewhere and maybe I'm making assumptions but that seems to be a given for the majority of fans.
Both should have been kicked out the second that clip came out.
Just for the gear they're wearing, let alone the cringey singing.
Another misused asset.
Should have had him on the left and Sancho on the right from the start of the season, until Rashford was fit/back to form.
A bit of a shame to see him so abused by the fans on here, not his fault he was over looked even after playing so well for WH last season.
All the best to him wherever he goes, just want to see him playing regularly and with a smile on his face.
Jesse Lingard, he’s one of our own.

The excitement is linked to some decent moves by the club overall. Investing heavily in the academy and revamping our scouting, Calling out Pogba for his Dubai trips and not begging him to stay, letting Martial be Martial and not accepting his half arsed idea of what it takes to play at an elite level anymore, while the Cavani things is not ideal it does indicate that we won’t be looking for elder stop gap solutions anymore and following the RB mantra of buy young and actually developing players. Looking at the other comings and goings- the club are making the right noises.I had thought my post was fairly straight forward to understand given the post I replied to but apparently I was wrong

Moving Jesse on falls into that type of category- it shows the club are casting off bit part players on big contracts restricting our youth players Opportunities to prove their worth. This will give more valuable minutes To Amad and Elanga and even Shoretire and possibly Hannibal. All about as talented as it gets at youth level and need to be given the same opportunity Jesse was 10 years ago. That is exciting. Not to mention more playing time for DVB who we still have no idea about really. It’s good business sense...get rid of dead wood quickly and give the next batch a shot.
Jesse is one of those players who you could tell was not Man Utd quality a long long time ago. Yet he has been kept, given decent wages and has essentially gotten more press for off field antics than his actual performances which is never good. (personal issues, acting the bollox and getting caught on video, starting a clothing line and releasing it the day of a big game for publicity, posting stupid videos etc.)
The same could have been said for the Mata situation...not bothered so much about the contracts but the minutes they might be getting is shocking when you consider the talent we have waiting in the wings. Judging by how Elanga is making moves in the first team and the experience Hannibal has gotten in the Arab Cup, We look like we might actually start improving what we have and bringing these guys through. That’s very exciting indeed.
