Unless that is what Jesse wanted
I dont agree at all. Quite the opposite.
This makes total sense, Ronaldo and probably Rangnick would have called out some of these players for their performances and attitude and they wouldn't have liked someone asking them to put in their 100% instead of doing just what is minimally required and earning lots of money. This team was doing better when Ole was there and after Ronaldo came things changed a lot in a short span of time, things aren't all well behind the scenes all the way to the top and it shows, looking at all the things that have been happening recently.
Judging by Rashford’s closeness to Lingard and the fact that he simply does not try when he’s substituted on, he’s definitely another leak or at the very least, bad egg. He should go too.
Is the dressing room as much of a disaster as the divided fanbase? Who knows.
I hoped the division would end with ETH's appointment.
We argued between ourselves at length when LVG, Jose and Ole were appointed, but it looks like the fanbase is 100% behind ETH - as good as anyway.
There still appears to be a hell of a-lot of division! Most seem happy with ETH though, which is a positive. Hopefully he can finally unify a very fractured fanbase.
United has the highest number of ex players who are pundits now...most tried to manage teams but failed woefully..but when you hear them speak about managers you would think they’re world class coaches.
Agree. This maintaining the value thing we do for accounting purposes is absolute nonsense and seems to hurt us on the pitch.
Scholes - deary me........the indiscretion!
Whatever happened to "what's said in the dressing room stays in the dressing room???"

It is a mistake, they shouldn't be here, but at the same time maybe these players should think twice about signing huge contracts and then not being able to get out when they want to.
We should fight disasters with disasters. Ten on the Richter scale, seismic reverberations that will remake the landscape of our club, start to play great football, a transformation that will be immortalized in a hagiography for the ages. Let’s open de gates of hell and be rid of our rain of frogs (sorry, Varane).
Since he arrived, we seem to have got worse!
Scholes...
I bet he has a lot of those "I don't know why I did it" moments, which puts those around him constantly on their toes.
I'm curious as to whether other clubs get the amount of leaks we do. I find it crazy. Obviously not all clubs are going through as bad a time as us so it may be partially circumstantial but do Everton for example have the same shit going on? Was Lampard undermined from the get-go @SilentWitness?
In much the same way as they say "never meet your heroes", I wish Scholes had never decided to do TV after retiring. He's not particularly good at it and every time I hear him speak, it chips away at the godlike image I had of him as a player and a solid, down to earth, no nonsense pro.
It's never nice to discover your heroes are just a bit thick. Way worse when it's shoved in your face once a week on TV or the papers.

Scholes wasn't born yesterday. He had been in the business for decades and under a manager whose authority was so big that he could go toe to toe against the major shareholders of the club and win. I am pretty sure that he know exactly the implications of leaking that information out.
So in my opinion Jesse wanted that information to be leaked and for his name to be mentioned. Which makes sense really. The guy is nearly 30 years old so this is his last pay cheque. He had a great spell at West Ham which was followed by a disastrous return at United. He'll soon be a free agent and he would want clubs out there to know this dip in form is not his fault.
It's just hit me, reading this paragraph, that Lingard is definitely going to do TV work once he retires isn't he?
That might be the day I give up on watching football. It will be like watching the bastard love child of Jermaine Jenas and fecking Jedward.
He probably will but he still have 3-4 good years of football left in him. In my opinion he wanted to make sure to highlight to the world that his dip of form isn't his fault but due to United's mismanagement. However there's lessons to be learnt from this. We've got former players whose now pundits whose got good contacts into the club and who have no issues whatsoever in airing our dirty laundry in public. Maybe its time we stop having this romantic view of our former players/players in the academy and to start judging people from their actions rather then from their words/past achievements
No way Lingard does TV, not unless people are okay reading subtitles!
By the time Lingard retires, football will probably be broadcast by way of 30 second Tik Tok clips.
Time to take the tv and drown it in the deepest ocean.
He won't do anything serious like punditry but he will def be doing stupid daft shit on camera, social media
From what I have seen and heard of Lampard so far and his tenure I don’t think it’s as bad. Under Benitez it was notable, particularly with Digne which led to his departure.
Fans: "Oh go on, tell us what he said then"
Nice to see him put his own foot in his mouth for once.
The dressing room is a disaster
i mean there’s towels and jocks lying on the floor for fecks sake

So that's what Carrick and McKenna actually did.
Not sure why everyone is angry at Lingard, it’s Scholes who has betrayed his confidence.
Scholes is probably also annoyed at just how superb Liverpool and City are.

Players were not named so you will have to use your own discretion.
I get this feeling from the Co92 that they’re always going to be critical of United. If we get to a place where we are playing modern football and winning leagues and cups, they’re still going to be grumpy about it and how compares to their sides under Fergie.
He really put his foot in his mouth there.
I don't know why this is a shock to anyone, what do people expect?
Huge expectation and media scrutiny and when things go bad and we're losing games they inevitably they point fingers at each other.

Sure lad, I'm not going over to Margot Robbie's tonight for 'personal reasons' either
Home just in time for tea then. Beanz beanz beanz on toast maybe.
