career ending
He’ll try and get a move to America just to realise no one knows who he is
Yeah we’re not claiming WarringtonHe's not actually from Manchester though.
Yep choosing in 2021 to run his contract down has proved to be a spectacularly bad career move.Not going to West Ham was a bad choice. Is anyone going to offer him close to what NF paid him in England?
Maybe he can go to Saudi Arabia and they'll pay him silly money.
17 games - 0 goals 0 assistsIt’s a bit difficult to recapture your previous form from the injury table, where he’s been for pretty much the 2nd half of the season. But hey, we all hate Jlingz here
Yeh, in the first half of the season when teams were walking through us for fun. Pretty much all of our attackers had similar stats. Difficult to create or score if you spend most of the game defending in your own half. I’m not trying to say he’s been a success but there’s a narrative on here regarding Lingard that is BS.17 games - 0 goals 0 assists
Not the 1st or 2nd season of such woeful production either. But yea, he's brilliant just misunderstood.
Agree with this.I still think he has played a blinder. He had had two short, brief periods of real form in his whole career and he has managed to manipulate that into a 10+ year career, score a goal in an FA Cup final, over 200 appearances for Manchester United and his last contract was 200k a week!
He is bright, bubbly and energetic (and immature) as a personality and he hasn’t just maximized his talent, he has achieved way beyond what his talented merited.
If he now goes to the US or Middle East and cashes in again, he will have played it perfectly. Without his divisive personality, he is playing for Millwall and getting 15k a week.
He has smashed it to be honest.
A 29 year old has no business signing a 1 year contract for that exact reason, injuries. A very bad move from him, players his age fight to get 4-5 year deals because you don't want to be club less, low reputation at his age. He can't get the maximum contract he could have got.It’s a bit difficult to recapture your previous form from the injury table, where he’s been for pretty much the 2nd half of the season.

He signed a one year deal because it suited both parties in the event of us going back downA 29 year old has no business signing a 1 year contract for that exact reason, injuries.

He had other more stable clubs offering him a contract. He has managed the situation badly.He signed a one year deal because it suited both parties in the event of us going back down
MoneyNo idea why he thought not staying at West Ham was a good idea. He was absolutely brilliant there.
He should have been looking for a multi-year contract with clauses in the case of you getting relegated that included a fairly low release clause (which protects him) and a significant wage decrease (which protects Forest). That way he could easily get out if you did get relegated but he also couldn't just sit on those wages in the Championship and be a massive drain on the club.He signed a one year deal because it suited both parties in the event of us going back down
Not glam enough for the Middle East, why would they want him? They want Lambourghini’s to show off, nobody is impressed by a 2008 Fiesta. MLS would be a good option for him but he seems close with his family and probably would want to stay in England.I don’t think he gets another PL club. MLS or Middle East beckons.
Kind of a great comparison in terms of level. Young really was a great professional.Feels like he could have been an Ashley Young type of hardworking journeyman had he been focused enough. Amazing he hung around Old Trafford for as long as he did really.
Well near enough.He's not actually from Manchester though.

Ashley young was miles better talent than Lingard. He was very good left winger during his Villa days, played at a level beyond Lingard's ability.Kind of a great comparison in terms of level. Young really was a great professional.
I think the bad career move was taking a 1 year contract with Forrest, rather than than running down his contract at United.Yep choosing in 2021 to run his contract down has proved to be a spectacularly bad career move.
Forest were completely insane giving him close to 200k. Thats something like what United would doI still think he has played a blinder.

Always thought he’d look good in a Hearts top.Scottish football is calling.
Well probably yeah, with both decisions though he was basing them purely on money.I think the bad career move was taking a 1 year contract with Forrest, rather than than running down his contract at United.
A three year contract at West Ham on less money a year would have been the safer move.
Not really mate Warrington isn't even greater Manchester never mind Manchester.Well near enough.
By that logic I suppose Johnny Evans, McTominay or any kid that joins Uniteds academy and moves to Manchester at 16 are Mancs too.And he's been "working" in Manchester since he was a kid and likely living in Manchester most of his life.
