Today Lingard responded to Ragnicks press-conference through social media, imo undermining the manager. I understand he might be pissed he didn't get a loan but things like this has to be kept within the club.
 
Not much in this IMO. He's probably putting it out there for his next club, not to mention trying to appease our supporters who think he might be uncommitted for his remaining tenure.

It's a good message the more I think about it.

Pretty sure he doesn't care, right? He's leaving and getting a big pay day because he'll be a free agent. Yeah it undermines the manager, who is undermined already by his own temporary position. But there is nothing to deter a player "defending himself" against what he perceived was a suggestion he wasn't in the right mindset to play. You can't fine him, you can't drop him, you can't freeze him out because he's already just counting down to summer.

Unless it's put in their contract. But the thing is, Jesse is homegrown and supposedly a United fan. So if you're a fan you should know better and keep this in-house.
 
He's not got much to lose at this point, so up to him. I wouldn't suggest players who aim to stay at the club go public in such a way though.

It's good for him yes, not the club. He openly called his current manager at the club that pays his wages a liar.
 


They would have asked him if he’s feeling ok. He would have said no, they would have said take some time off then.

Unless he’s injured he could have just made himself available for selection right ?

100% disagree.
He needed to address that with Ralf.

Ralf shouldn't have said his side either.

Too much dirty washing in public
 
Get rid, thinks he's better than he is. He sums up the problems at United. Lazy player who wants a big contract who has done nothing.

He decided to perform with West ham to show united were wrong but gaurunteed when he returns and if he gets a start will turn into a lazy feck again

If Pogba gets a 500K I promise everyone I will take a massive dump on one of the glazers car.

And take laxatives before hand.
