Him and Rashy posted it on social media as to say they're one of the lucky ones who made it in pro football
This is one of the things that has turned the fans on Lingard i feel. If he was not so brash and arrogant that he thinks he is a top player, he would not receive as much criticism. he does not help himself by how he behaves off the pitch.
I read an article that he dumped his long term girlfriend once he got his first big contract. It went to his head i feel. He loves all the women wanting him. And he loves that attention more than actually being a footballer.
He should never have been allowed to be in the position he is. ferguson would have just let him go quietly in the off season and even if he did keep him, he would not have put up with his shit performances and shitty attitude off the pitch.
Edit: i must also add that the impression i get off lingard is that he is not mature. he is what 26 years old, but only has the maturity of a 17 year old. Which does not help his cause.
