Wonder what it's like for him in the dressing room with comments like "No wonder it's the Conference League next season" getting his sign-off.

I actually can’t wait for him and Pogba to leave. Just constant drama and provocation in exchange for such little contribution.

The fresh start has to commence without the rats, leaks and drama. Players like these two and Shaw have had multiple managers to contribute consistently. They have had their day. We shouldn’t risk tainting a new beginning by keeping them around.

Besides, Jesse has just been outed as a snitch, among others possibly, of the dressing room (I'm sure he won't mind that). In what fecking normal world does one expect a send-off after a revelation like this :lol: ?

This should close this one for sure Bryan Robson wasn't even picked on the bench for the cup final against Chelsea that would have been his last game for us.

If Jesse didn't get on he needs to look at himself in the mirror and ask himself why
And Fergie used this last ever home game to throw Rooney under the bus by telling everyone he wanted out and dropping him. But we should treat Lingard better for doing it?

Madness right? Imagine throwing all your colleagues and boss under the bus then being upset they didn't throw you a party when you left?

He's been too shit this season to warrant time on the pitch. Too unprofessional. Complaining about this petty shit kind of reinforces why he can feck off.

Im sorry but I just disagree with this so much.

Not giving human beings who have spent over 2 decades at the club a sendoff is just shitty, classless behavior and I expect a lot more from this club than that. Manchester United is known for their class and tact. Manchester United has partnered with UNICEF for the past 23 years, the club paid all their matchday staff full wages during covid, the Manchester United Foundation do a lot of tremendous community work in the Manchester area. The club frequently hosts fans with debilitating handicaps to visit the grounds and meet the players, and the players themselves are involved in both the MUFC Foundation and other charities.

We have all sat and listened to speeches of club greats who have been given a microphone at the grass of Old Trafford to say their goodbyes to 80 thousand people and everyone at home watch. From Sir Alex Ferguson, Nemanja Vidic, Ole Gunnar Solskjær, Wayne Rooney and more. All club greats with a long and loved story at the club. Common for them all is that they saw tremendous success with the team and lifted trophies. Is that what we are now? We only appreciate players if they lift trophies and dont annoy us on social media?

The people who give speeches give speeches because they are monumental players that deserve the respect. What we can, and should do for players who have been loyal servants is the minimal decency of lettting them run on the pitch of Old Trafford and kick the ball one final time. That is not a lot to ask.

Jesse gets a lot of shit for even being employed here, earning a lot of money and not having playd all that well for a while. Not just shit, but outright hostile toxicity. Ive seen some who have lambasted him for not leaving, conveniently ignoring that the club hierarchy set a price on Jesse that West Ham and Newcastle were unwilling to pay. Jesse wanted to leave to play football, but he couldnt. He was not allowed to because the brass wanted more money than they could get. And Jesse gets blamed.

2 years ago Jesse had perhaps the worst season of his career, and he went to Ole and told him that he was struggling mentally, with issues in his personal life outside of his control that added to it. Outside of the dabs, Jlingz and a desire to go somewhere else to find playingtime you absolute cnuts have forgotten how to behave like adults and be respectful of people.

Who gives a shit if he told Paul Scholes that the dressing room was unhappy? Did you think it was after this season? - Paul Scholes is essentially Manchester United royalty, he is someone who should be able to keep a secret, especially one told in confidence. I dont blame Jesse one bit for talking to Paul about whats going on. Paul should have kept his mouth shut.

Unless ETH says differently, Jesse is now leaving the club. Ralf Rangnick who have spent a cool 5 months at the club without uniting the dressing room, or even trying, in his final act at Old Trafford has decided that 22 years of life at Manchester United was not worthy off a sendoff in front of the home crowd.

Letting players who have spent most of their lives at the club having a few minutes in front of the home crowd is the bare minimum of what they should be given. If we cant do that, we are a nothingclub.

All talk about being ruthless and clinical is genuinely pointless drivel when what happened yesterday could not impact what happens at the club going forward one bit. The only thing it displayed was bitterness and a lack of ability to forgive and reflect.

I dont really care that Jesse had a rough few seasons here. He came out and adressed his personal issues and how it impacted his on-field contribution, he went out on a loan, killed it and came back ready to fight for a spot in the team. He was not successful, but at least he tried.

It leaves me with a bitter taste that there are vultures here that have forgotten how to be decent people. Shame on you
What a steaming pile of drivel.

Jesse has been leeching off Manchester United for years, he "deserves" nothing.

It's nothing to do with being clssy or not, too many of today's footballers have such an entitled attitude it would be embarrassing in any other profession.

Any fecks I gave about Jesse disappeared when he started posting pictures of the West Ham badge

Almost certain he’s one of the main leaks and players causing unrest as well, good riddance

Yep and this reminds me of Yaya Toure complaining about City not congratulating him on his birthday.

Is he gone yet?

Can't wait for this primadonna to be out of our club

Never want to see him in a Utd jersey again, exactly what is wrong with this club

Why would we give a “send off” to a player that has spent a third of his career on loan at other clubs and outside of maybe a combined period of 7-8 weeks over his whole United career has underperformed on a major scale when weighed up against the wages he’s recieved ?

I get he’s a local lad and I do believe he loves the club that he’s supported since being a young boy but let’s be honest, he’s used the club as a social standing in order to push his own image on. Without being at United he loses that social standing and won’t get anywhere near the level of attention that he has whilst being at United.

We don't need a send off for any player. If you've been a good servant for the club, you'll get offered a testimonial match.

Cavani probably get subbed in because Rangnick thought he could still offer something for the last two games.

The absolute state of that post from this brother! Expecting a send off and a big long drawn out self indulgent goodbye after the stagnant career he's had - save for a handful of weeks spread over several years. His family life aside he can't have any excuses for how he has been perceived by the fans over the last while.

The self entitlement wasn't always there but the self congratulation was..... One of the 0.012%

He had his chance to piss off to West Ham. He didn't, and then proceeded to spit the dummy and throw the toys out, going and leaving acting like the man child that he is.


And he's a shite dancer

What is incredible is that he takes aim at the club and all of it's fans for a substitution Ralf Rangnick decides not to make. I'd like to think of him as Lingard's idiot brother, but I feel like that might be giving Lingard too much credit!

After the trouble Lingard, Rashford and Pogba's brothers have caused us we should seriously consider an 'only child' policy moving forward

I'm saying it was one of the two viable options. Read.
It was a bad option. Should never even thought of integrating him again into the team. The only option should have been selling him on all costs, no matter how cheap we sell him. Idiotic board and stupid decisions.

"Manchester United has come to terms on the release of Jesse Lingard. We wish him the best in all his future endeavours."

Can't we just have Erik fire him, Vince McMahon style?

"Jesse? YOU'REEEEEE FIRRRRRRREEEEED!!!"

What an entitled passive aggressive small-dick prick.

If he (and his mate Rashy) actually tried when he got given a chance, he might have been given the send-off he's shouting for and we could have made the CL.

I hope he stays in the PL and he gets absolutely booed out of the stadium next season.

Also, his silly brother needs to read up on the qualification rules for Europe. We are all but guaranteed to get 6th and the EL spot.

Surely Man Utd can just say right now in the press "We thank Jessie for his service over these years but we won't be offering him a new contract" and then don't let him train with the first team...?

As i read this back i know why they don't do this. They don't want other future players to think "if it doesn't work out, that might be me in 18 months"

Because they'll look outright stupid. They had a chance to send him to Newcastle and get some money while getting him out. If the club turned down the opportunity to ship him out respectfully only to axe the player but still keep paying him before the season ended, they'd look like outright cnuts.

Rashford and Lingard mentality was exposed when they Tweeted the 0.012% thing years back. It demonstrated that to them, they'd proven all they'd ever need to by just becoming professionals. Two immature, egotistical and pampered idiots who don't have the mentality for United. The 0.012% yes but not the 0.001% who go and win it all

Jesus thinking back to it, we've put up with such bullshit for so long

The ship has sailed on that already.... massively.
