    EPL: Brother of Jesse Lingard blasts Man Utd

    Manchester United player Jesse Lingard’s brother took to social media to blast the club on Monday.

    The Red Devils played their final home game of the season against Brentford, winning 3-0.

    Lingard, who is leaving United in the summer after the expiry of his contract, was on the bench for the game.

    However, he did not make it onto the pitch for farewell minutes, despite having come through the club’s academy.

    Lingard’s brother Louie Scott posted on Instagram post-game, stating: “20 years of blood sweat and tears, 4 domestic trophies, 3 cup final goal, not even a farewell. No wonder it’s Conference League next year.

    “Attacking players for celebrations when the clubs being sold to the super league ok. Class of 92, Busby Babes, you’re ran by people who don’t even know the offside trap. Classless and the fans need to realise. Goodnight, godbless!

    “Been there since nine years of age and didn’t even get a send off!!! Well done bro your family are proud.”

  • Contract talk collapses as Lingard set to leave Man Utd

    Contract talk collapses as Lingard set to leave Man Utd

    Jesse Lingard has rejected pay cut at Manchester United and will now push to leave the club in the January transfer window, according to The Times.

    The England star’s current deal ends at the end of the 2021-22 season meaning the 28-year-old will go as a free agent.

    The England international has been frustrated with his lack of playing time under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer after he failed to leave in the summer.

    He has started just one game in all competitions so far this season and the newspaper says that United were keen on extending his current deal but their initial offer was worth less than the midfielder’s current salary.

    The report also says that the representatives of the England star have also held talks with a club in Spain.

    The 28-year-old was on loan at West Ham United last season where he performed beyond expectations but decided to return to Old Trafford at the end of the season

    Lingard scored nine goals in 16 appearances for the Hammers last season and was reportedly given assurances by Solskjaer that he would be granted more minutes.

    But the player was ‘perplexed’ by the decision from the United manager to start Dan James just days before his £25 million move to Leeds.

    Euro 2020 omission was emotional – Jesse Lingard

    Manchester United midfielder Jesse Lingard admits his England omission was tough to take.

    After a superb six months on-loan with West Ham, Lingard was in contention for the final Euros squad.

    “It was emotional. You’re sad and you’re down, but you’ve got to respect the manager’s decision,” Lingard told Sky Sports.

    “Me and Gareth (Southgate) have a great relationship, and now it’s about supporting the boys.

    “I love watching England – I’m a fan myself,” he said. “I enjoyed going to the beer garden to watch the first game.

    “Last year, November time, I think no one thought I’d get near the team. But I worked hard, did well on loan and England came knocking.

    “I enjoyed the camp in March – it’s always good to be back with the boys. I played in those games, and then coming up to the Euros, being involved in the 33-man squad was brilliant as well.

    “I worked so hard to get there. I didn’t get picked, but I’ll always carry on supporting the boys.”

    Wolves among best goals I’ve scored – Jesse Lingard

    West Ham midfielder Jesse Lingard is proud of last Monday’s goal in victory at Wolves.

    On Monday, he was at his best yet again to lead West Ham to a 3-2 win at Wolverhampton Wanderers, where he scored a sensational individual goal before playing his part in the second for Pablo Fornals with an audacious piece of skill, then laying on the third for Jarrod Bowen with a perfectly weighted pass.

    “We’re in really good spirits at the moment – the whole team is, to be honest,” he told the club’s website. “It was a good victory and obviously we’re in the top four and we want to maintain that position now.

    “It’s up with the best goals I’ve ever scored. It’s similar to a goal I scored against Watford for Manchester United, but I’d say it’s definitely up there.

    “With the spin for Pablo’s goal, it was just using my initiative because the ball was going out of play and I just had to get their as quickly as I could, and by the time I got there I knew the defender was there, so I knew I had to spin immediately.

    “We’re playing with confidence and winning games and when you’re doing that, things like that will come, and thankfully it came to me.”

    Manchester United loanee Jesse Lingard is willing to return to the club next season, provided he gets more game time.

    Lingard was on the fringes at United for nearly a year, before a loan move to West Ham United in January.

    The 28-year-old is now showing his best form, having scored 5 and assisted 2 times in 7 Premier League games for the Hammers.

    And according to ESPN, Lingard is not ready to go back to United no matter what, as he would prefer to spend next season at a club where he plays regularly.

    Lingard, who will have a year left on his deal in the summer, wants assurances from United manager Ole Gunnar Solskjaer that he will play more often.

    EPL: Why I chose West Ham – Lingard

    West Ham loanee Jesse Lingard admits he could have left Manchester United for abroad in January.

    In just seven appearances for his new club, Lingard has scored five goals, assisted three more and won two penalties, helping to maintain the Hammers’ unexpected push for Champions League football.

    He revealed he had offers to join clubs in France and Spain during the transfer window but was advised to remain in the Premier League by England boss Gareth Southgate.

    “It was about going out to Europe or staying in the Premier League and he said, ‘If I was you I would stay in the Premier League’,” Lingard told the London Evening Standard.

    “So after that I had to find a Premier League side and obviously West Ham fit perfectly.

    “I didn’t speak to him after the loan, it was just about me working hard for West Ham and trying to get the call-up.”

    Manchester United boss Ole Gunnar Solskjaer is preparing to lose Jesse Lingard and Odion Ighalo next month.

    FA Cup: Man Utd to investigate abuse aimed at Lingard

    Manchester United have condemned the foul-mouthed abuse aimed at Jesse Lingard after their FA Cup fifth round win on Thursday and will contact Derby County as part of a further investigation.

    A video on social media showed fans subjecting Lingard to a torrent of abuse as he boarded the team bus after Manchester United’s 3-0 win over Derby at Pride Park.

    The 27-year-old played the full 90 minutes against Derby, but has not been part of Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s starting line-up in the league since New Year’s Day against Arsenal.

    He has scored twice across all competitions this season.

  • Solskjaer resurrects Man Utd with 5-1 win at Cardiff

    Solskjaer resurrects Man Utd with 5-1 win at Cardiff

    Ole Gunnar Solskjaer got off to a perfect start as Manchester United’s interim manager with a 5-1 thrashing of his former club Cardiff.

    The former United striker succeeded boss Jose Mourinho, who was sacked in midweek, and got his first win courtesy of a performance that will encourage United fans as some of their more marginalised talent came to the fore in a performance full of attacking intent.

    Marcus Rashford’s stunning free-kick, a deflected effort from Ander Herrera and a fabulous team goal by Anthony Martial effectively won the contest before half-time for a United side inspired by the recalled Paul Pogba, who had a hand in all three first-half goals.

    Victor Camarasa’s penalty briefly gave Cardiff hope as they reduced the arrears to 2-1, but Jesse Lingard won and scored a contentious second-half penalty and then rounded Neil Etheridge to tap into an empty net at the death to make the result safe.

    It is the first time United have scored five goals in a Premier League game since legendary manager Sir Alex Ferguson’s last game in charge – a 5-5 draw with West Brom in May 2013.
