According to reports RLC is on 60K, that makes 75K per week to Lingard not that high.

I think his missus will have something to say as well as she has 2 kids just started school/nursery
Well there you go. So why did you say no other club would pay the sort of money that we do?
True. Will be interesting to see what happens. He's bold "I'll retire from int. football after WC 2018" as well... No matter what Southgate says, I think Rooney's England days are numbered, if there's no miraculous turn around of form at some club. But that's for another thread.
Because they don't? They can and sometimes do (e.g. Hazard's new contract may well make him the highest paid player in the league), but they don't in every case.
For reference, Moses' new contract is reported to be around £75k a week. That's for a player who has come from a similar background to Lingard, but currently plays a much more important squad role for them. I can't see any argument to suggest why it's beneficial to pay more than that.
And I like Lingard and I'm happy to see him stay; I just don't think the approach of chucking money around like its going out of fashion is working for us.
Who would have thought this boy will sign such a big contract. Just look at his oversized shorts
They are making different points than you are. They made a point to say that they wanted the player but didn't get the player due to us refusing to sell or player being injured. Last summer I don't think we had any plans of letting Fellaini go. Milan tried and failed. It's wrong to say that he would have moved if he was paid 50k or so.
You specifically said Young was crap in your previous post and now you backtrack to say that he will start but he won't get this wage? That's not a big find. Pretty sure most players moving down the league would not get the same wage. He would still easily get close to 80k. Jonjo Shelvey gets that at Newcastle. Young is a more useful player
As said above the likes of park used to get high wages for being a squad player too.
They are struggling on the pitch, which is the part Lingard contributes to. The fact that the commercial dept rakes in millions on the back of the global behemoth Fergie built up allows us to indulge in such extravagance but it doesn't mean it's the right thing to do.
a- United refused selling on both counts and guess what? I agree with them. I don't rate Fellaini but we shouldn't handle him over for next to nothing especially since I am pretty sure he would have returned after the 1 year loan was over
b- He's crap for the salary he's been paid for. Happy now?
c- Park was 5 times the player Lingard is.
Seems a lot more money than he is worth. If we sold him tomorrow, what would we get and where would he go. Maybe one of our nursery teams such as Everton or West Brom, but we'd get maybe 20 million for him. It seems to be the way football is going these days, 100k per week for a squad player. He's a squad player in essentially a poor Utd team, what will he be next season when presumably we will have a stronger squad. In fairness to him, he does put in a shift in that he tries. I think if it wasn't for him having such a punchable face, we'd probably be fairly content. he's up there with Vardy , Sterling and Pardew is the smackable face dept.
Not enough people are paying attention to my shit opinions, so I'm going to write a very long post.

You don't half chat some complete rubbish.
@Akash
At least he contributes to discussion rather than just patronising everyone who disagrees with him
And now Trump and brexit compared to Lingard signing a new contract. Ffs

He's spewing rubbish as always and can't wait to attack United players at the first opportunity.
This is precisely the problem. Reward players for getting us back to the top not missing out on the top 4 every year.
The bits in bold are complete nonsense. I swear you've been watching different games to me. Numpty.
I've no idea what it all means, except the 'fancius breakfastum' bit, chief.a- what you said earlier was that the reason they didn't buy was because the wages were too high for them. Nothing to suggest that we would have sold him even if they were willing to pay his full wage. So you're wrong there
Not really crap. But sure whatever you think I suppose
Park was doing a similar job for United that lingard is doing right now. Filling in for a forward player as rotational, mostly a defensive winger/ attacking midfielder. At times as a marking job. He was also a big game player. In his 6 years he scored 27 goals so his output wasn't that high either.
"fancius breakfastum doorstepio", no less. A craving for a massive, feck off, bacon and egg sandwich.Feck sake, my 3D glasses are shite.
New club moto:
Play like the worst and get paid like the best
Play like the worst and get paid like the best
Just the paltry 6 million in wages over those years.
I would have thought that pretty good for an honest but limited player with great movement and energy but little end product.
But it was an unnecessary gamble, was he going to put in a transfer request if offered a double your money 50 k, with enhancements for goals/appearances?
He hasn't played much, because when he has played he hasn't been much good.
Stats are misleading.....Rolling the ball to Pogba from 30 yrds to smack it high and handsome is a chance created and the same as beating 3 players and playing a killer pass. I have watched him play regularly, he moves alot ,has great high energy but with poor end product.
Happy that he would be a back up for league cup games and sadly for our Europa cup games next year also.
I think those ratings are close to the mark, especially for the big fan favourite Pogba.
We want him to stay, and to even play occasionally from the bench if we ever get a 2 goal lead again.
We have now made him one of the top paid players in the whole league despite not being good enough to start over the last few years and without any real evidence of him becoming the quality of player to deserve that wage.
I'd rather we keep faith in players like Jesse than overspend on the likes of Rodriguez and Robben who only vote us as a final payday she would do nothing to get us back on top
aah, the internet doing what it does best.... Outrage.
Couldn't care less what he earns. Footballers all earn ridiciouls wages, for basically playing a game.

racist
If we bought an average 24 year old for £15m and gave him £100k per week I'd wonder what the hell we were doing. Same as when we bought Young for £20m and gave him £120k per week.
All he needs to do is add performances to his game regularly away from wembley and his new wage will be deserved
I largely agree with this, Steve - apart from the bit about the Japanese being evil and plotting to take over everything. It's a possibility, as it's always been, but we simply do not have enough evidence to support such claims at the present time.
As for Lingard, he could be evil. But he could also be a pretty much ideal squad man for us in the future. The money will be stupid, can't help that, apparently. We overpay for everything. Replacing a pretty much ideal squad man could easily be just as expensive as giving him a contract people will react to at first glance.
From givemesport.com: The 14 players who earn less than Jesse Lingard at Man United
Worst news of the season..
Worse than Mata (possibly) being out for the season? Or the given suspensions. Wow.
I still don't understand the controversy over this. Our wage structure is set up in such a way that if Lingard were to inquire to the PFA and ask the going rate for a player of his status (squad) at comparable clubs (Chelsea, City), he'd receive a rough quote. The manager clearly thinks Lingard can do what he wants him to do, and is happy to tie him up to a four year deal. There's also the fact that should we decide to move him on in a year, we'll receive a higher premium.
It's a standard contract for a squad player at this club to receive. Ashley Young was on a comparable amount for years.

It's not standard at all, 100k would put him on more than Baily, Smalling, Carrick, Valencia, Rojo, Martial, Herrera, Blind, Rashford. All of them are more first-teamers than Lingard. This actually makes him one of our higher paid players.
And Ashley Young's salary was always ridiculous, no one thought that was standard (it was mostly because he was a free transfer so we saved money on a transfer fee)
It's not a standard contract for a squad player, hence why over half the squad are paid less.
If it were a standard wage for a squad player then we'd be run very poorly indeed. Far better teams than us in Europe pay far less for squad players. Not that you would understand the problem with that, apparently.
You've just used an example of one of our worst and most overpaid signings of the last decade, to try and prove that paying Lingard £100k is a good deal...
Smalling could be out the door. Carrick will probably leave. Valencia is at an age where he isn't going to receive a lucrative contract. Rojo is on 70k a week, and that was negotiated years ago. His new contract would be worth over 100k, if and when he begins negotiations. Martial was 19, and Lingard has featured more under Jose. Herrera's contract was formulated under LvG, if he were to resign and Jose expressed his desire to keep him as a first team member, he'd receive more than Lingard.
Squad status, age, previous contract, all relative to existing wage structure (of both this club, and comparable clubs). I'll trust Woodward to make this decision, with obvious input from Jose.
That's because the EPL is ahead on wages. QPR had a higher wage bill than Atletico Madrid in the season AM won La Liga. This is what chairmen take into account. The market sets the rate, not some idealized notion of what a player should deserve relative to leagues which are irrelevant.
