Lots of media reaction. Interesting how the journos are coming out to bat for him. Very interesting...
Rather damming that they would defend him

He's been dogshit for years, he's come on in games all season and jogged around and shown no effort and he's clearly one of the people leaking stories to the media.
He deserved feck all send off.

This is a societal problem it seems. Honours or awards used to be awarded to people. Not many people were around who had so much sugar blown up their arse, that they thought they were entitled to receive an award based upon their own perception.The entitlement is just astounding.
But that‘s exactly my problem with his situation. It also wouldn‘t have hurt him to go on his own lap of honour. Nobody was stopping him from showing his appreciation for years of support. The problem is, he seems to expect everybody else to show him appreciation, without showing any gratitude towards the people who put up with his antics for so many years.Not that I care about the whole thing, but giving him a final sub appearance wouldn't have hurt anyone especially when he is already on the bench.

Wouldn’t surprise me if the journos want to keep good terms with Jesse as he’d likely be a leak for them at a future club.
He’s an absolute manchild with zero self awareness. Hate the fact that he’s been at the club for so many years. Says so much about how poorly run this club has been
You can tell the journalists that get stories from Lingard's people by the tweets of sympathy.
Lingard did not care about a farewell when he wanted to leave in January or last summer. Now, it is suddenly an issue.
Manchester United does no owe Jesse Lingard anything.
Two reasons. He is English. And he is leaking them stuff. Of course they "love" him.I've never understood this overall love for Lingard from the media. He is a very immature player, that has contributed very little during his time here and quite possibly a source of a lot of unrest within the club. The sooner he is out of the club the better.
He can only have one of two things. Either he can "not mind Scholes saying this" about dressing room internals (as a culmination of public noise he generated all season), or he can expect his manager to give him a nice, gratuitous goodbye at OT from the fans.
Keeping in mind, as well, that he pushed hard to leave in January and moaned about not being able to. He can't have it both ways.
Rangnick might have been ineffective as a coach in his short emergency spell, but he isn't a mug or a walk-over when it comes to dressing room discipline.
Let's not pretend that Ralf likes to keep comments behind closed doors, he's quite consistently displayed verbal diarrhoea himself in his press conferences all season. And let's also not pretend that Lingard is the first player to push for a move away and complain when it didn't happen.
This. Should have been sold and the money (together with saved wages) reinvested or kept for this summers kitty. Our squad (mis)management has been unbelievably shite.We completely mismanaged him, particularly after his excellent West Ham stint. We should have (properly) re-introduced him to the squad or, and this would've been preferable, sold him for good money. These were the two logical options. We invented a third option which was to not sell him, not play him and watch his value depreciate while he lingered in no mans land and grew in resentment.
Having said that, he is also an absolute man-child with zero self awareness as @Strats so eloquently put it. His behaviour has been shocking and he did not deserve a send-off.

West Ham wanted him for peanuts.This. Should have been sold and the money (together with saved wages) reinvested or kept for this summers kitty. Our squad (mis)management has been unbelievably shite.
Yeah then there was also the Toon who wanted to loan him from us. Either way, those "peanuts" was probably worth it especially getting his wages off the books, not? Especially since we barely played him and kept him around the squad (with leaks continuing etc.).West Ham wanted him for peanuts.
Or he still has a childish/immature mentality and feels the need to be with younger people.It was funny the way he was sticking to the young lads when the players all walked on the pitch. You could interpret that charitably as him remembering how overwhelming it could be and doing his best to make them feel at home. But I couldn’t help thinking of the lad at school who always hung round with kids from the years below, because he needed to be a big fish in a small pond.
Agree with this ^Jesse's camp has no cause for sour grapes.
I still appreciate what Lingard has done for this club, especially in cup finals, but you can't have it both ways.
This season Jesse appears to have been a regular source for the media. Clearly Rangnick (and others) haven't taken that well and was never going to reward him. Actions have consequences: You want to post photos of yourself in a West Ham shirt, you want to let the media know you're peeved about not going to Newcastle, you want to tell Scholes the dressing room is a 'disaster.' All of that is fine. You're a free man, you can do what you want. However, you can't expect the manager or the club to like it. Expecting Rangnick to turn around and then give him a chance for a send off, after being undermined by him for months, was a bit mad. Shows how much of a bubble he lives in.
