The Sun and Express have him linked to a move to Bristol City.​

surely he can do better than Bristol City!

I could see him doing well for a team like Swansea who play the right way and develop their players fully. I do think hes got a higher ceiling than Swansea but regular football somewhere like that would do him good.

Don't see that he suits their style at all, I rate him as a very good player too but I think he'd do better at a team that gives their wingers more attacking freedom than assisting responsibility.

Quick fixing?

If he was good enough then he'd play. You also forgotten Pereira is ahead of him also.

He's also going to be 23. He should have by now shown something that he would justify a first team spot and I am not talking about pre season. Three managers have not picked him for the first team. There must be a reason for that.

In fairness, LVG picked him for the first game last season. He got a bad injury and was then farmed out, so it was down to bad luck really. If he'd stayed fit, he might have got a decent run?[/QUOTE]

if he wants to succeed at a club like United then he needs to learn that other side of the game

[/QUOTE]

LVG picked him primary because Valencia and Rafael were both injured. And he was asked to play a role he's never really played.

 

[SqueakyWeasel]

Thought he did well in pre-season but don't see him getting much game time with our mid-field. Assumed he'd go out on loan.

Fergie always planned to wait until he was a bit more physically mature before giving him his shot - he said he expected him to be 22 before it happened, so he retired too early to do it. Moyes rightly chose to promote Januzaj ahead of him, and in such a difficult season he was hardly going to have leeway to blood two youngsters in the same position. And LVG did try and give him his shot, but he got that terribly timed injury, something which LVG has actually expressed his disappointment about.

So whatever you think of his chances and ability, you can't really damn him based on that.

Does seem a bit of a strange move if true. Newcastle are rumored to be interested.

 

[a_devil_inside]

Seen he was being linked with Newcastle

 

[Raw]

Saw that too, would rather he went there on loan. If United are getting Pedro, Lingard is really going to have trouble getting games.

A lad that was in the same year as me is in that video. The one in the yellow bib, with blonde streaks in his hair, called Michael Potts.

He's playing for Conference North side AFC Fylde.Used to play in League Two for York City for a season.

 

[Walters_19_MuFc]

Good pre season and not even a place on the bench, despite Fellaini, Januzaj, Rojo, Jones and potentially a new winger not being available to pick for the bench. Doesn't look good for him.

 

[caisenma]

What's the point of him going on preseason then? He had a really good showing in the states.

 

[khoazany]

No injury and only 7 on the bench what can you expect?

 

[Devil may care]

Any more news on whether he is going on loan? It doesn't seem he's likely to get near the match day squad anytime soon with Fellaini, Rojo and Jones all due back to add to spots on the bench never mind the starting 11.

I still think all three options are available for Lingard; kept with us, loaned out or sold.

Genuinely not sure what will happen with him between now and the end of the window.

 

[gooDevil]

He'll be given a run in the LC, if we do well he will stay with us to play in the FA Cup and as cover. Otherwise we'll loan him out to give him games.

I guess the fact Adnan went from not making the match day 18 to starting means LvG could put him in the squad for the Brugge game if he's using one young attacking player in each game, Pereira being in the first match day squad but not the second.

 

[Insanity]

Would like to see him on the right with Adnan or Pereira in the center and Depay on the left.

When is our first league cup game?

Mid September.

 

[TwoSheds]

I hope he starts the European game personally. Keep a good solid midfield and defence and play him, Pereira and Januzaj in the attacking midfield slots.

 

[Robbie Boy]

Any news on this front of a loan / permanent transfer? Surely he can't sit in the reserves for the season. He's a talented lad and needs to move on for his own sake.

 

[NL Max]

If Martial is the last signing we'll make that will be good news for Lingard and Pereira. They'll be alot closer to the first team than I thought and offer us alternatives out wide (if Martial plays centrally) and maybe even at 10 (although I doubt the latter). Lingard has done well in preseason and on loan, he might get his chance this year.

 

[Devil may care]

We can still loan/sell players to Championship clubs, right?

 

[Šjor Bepo]

dont think we can sell them but we can loan them thats for sure....

 

[Sam]

I do find it quite amazing that he's still at the club, yet Januzaj isn't.

I wonder if LVG has any plans to use him much? He didn't get much playing time on the tour, and spent last season on loan, so it wouldn't seem that likely.

 

[settembrini]

Even after all the outgoings he's still way down the pecking order.

The loan window opens next week and I expect he'll join a championship club again. Powell too if he's fit.

 

[gooDevil]

Playing for the reserves. Poor b@stard.

 

[izec]

Dont know how he will get games this season, another loan coming. I feel for him though.

 

[RedMachine03]

Scored as well.

 

[Ole's_toe_poke]

He's going to be 23 this year. Definitely needs to start playing somewhere soon. He's had only 50 odd senior appearances through various loan spells.

Van Gaal always seems to name drop him so it does look like he's rated.

 

[Sid234]

Van Gaal definitely rates him or he'd have shipped him out without thinking twice about it.
He's in the same boat as McNair, too many players ahead of him to get a chance immediately. I guess the Carling Cup game would be best shot to make an impression though I think Van Gaal prefers to make a decision on players by their training performances

He's not even getting on the bench when the only other attacking option on the bench is Fellaini.

Not sure why he is even still at the club.

 

[RedMachine03]

Coming on for Mata

Bit surprising.

 

[Samid]

Still alive apparently.

 

[Raoul]

Good call by LvG. Up 2-0 and a big game at midweek.

 

[MyOnlySolskjaer]

Don't mind him deputizing for Young whilst he's out injured.
