Ferguson on Lingard:
"
Jesse Lingard is going to be some player. He has come through our youth system and is built like Jean Tigana was for France. But he never got into the limelight there until he was about 24, and I think that will be the same with Lingard.He is a player this club has very high hopes for."
Ferguson predicted Lingard would get into the United first team as a regular at about 23/24-years of age and would become established from there.
He has scored two sublime goals for us in cup finals, but because he
came through the youth system and isn't foreign with a cute name like Lingardo...some United fans deem him not good enough.
By the way, Tigana hadn't even signed for Lyon at 23...and was nowhere near as established as an international by then as Lingard was. In fact, he didn't get his first cap until he was 25.
So have some patience and have some fecking respect!
