Lingard and Pereira

Bruno exposed just how bad they really are. They're not even championship level.

It was criminal that we went into the season with these two as our number 10’s in the first place. It actually blows my mind that a football club the size of United thinks that is acceptable to compete in the premier league.

I dont think it's fair to suggest Lingard's entire United career has been as bad as this past 12 months. It hasn't.

At his best he was a good squad player but he's crossed the line into being completely useless, and he doesnt look like he'll get any sort of confidence back here. The guy needs a move for his own sake as well as ours. Preferably away from England, where he's now become a bit of a laughing stock.

As for Pereira, I've really never seen anything in him at all. Always just looked like another Tom Cleverley.

jesse lingard cared more about his social media, stupid videos and carp clothing line
Hes a travesty to all kids looking up at footballers and how to act
He is the luckiest man in the world that he plays football for manchester united yet couldt give a fack

he doesnt get into any team in the premier league imo and i dont even think he gets into the top 6 teams in the Championship

He could maybe ( a big maybe ) compete with Jed wallace at millwall

It's baseless and plainly untrue to say that Lingard doesn't 'give a fack'. He clearly does. One thing he's always done is graft and work hard for the team. His problem is that he simply isn't good enough. His purple patch a couple of seasons ago has long gone. We can criticise him for not being good enough - absolutely. But why invent things?

Think most will agree that Lingard has regressed badly over the last 2 years from being viewed as not quite good enough as a regular starter, (except for a few isolated moments of genius) to being a complete waste of a shirt in the United XI.

Many call out his social media stunts and antics as evidence that he has taken his eye off the required levels of commitment and attitude required to make it as a first choice player at a club like United.

However at the same time his family problems have been well documented regarding his mother's illness and the fact that he is apparently having to basically parent his younger siblings, day to day and juggle it with his fading United career.

Or is it that that the promising young local academy lad has just now flourished into a Championship standard, real deal?

Lingard’s actually a good player for footballers to look up to. He’s a consummate professional, and has made it at one of the biggest clubs in the world precisely because of this and his attitude towards the game, as he’s not blessed with much footballing ability. Him being a bit of an idiot on instagram does not undo any of this. Basically, mons, you are absolutely clueless.

and has made it at one of the biggest clubs in the world

................

Your definition of 'made it' is more liberal than mine.

Lingard is exactly the kind of person Keano was on about in his rant back in the day.

Not interested in getting into a semantic debate. I’m making the point that he’s had a career at United - making 200 appearances - because of his attitude and professionalism. Trying to discredit that because he uses instagram is complete nonsense.

Your point is fine Dazza. His media antics don’t bother me as I don’t follow them.

But I think Keano’s point is also very valid for him.
