there's the "squad player" bollocks again. no offence mate, but this clown has no business being anywhere near our team
That's why I said squad player.

Players who are better than Lingard won't be happy with a peripheral role.

What annoys me is he starts the big games. We should be better than that.

I think and hope that this lad is just taking longer to hit a regular high standard of form. He's obviously come into the team late due to his size but he's supposedly techinically excellent? Hope it all comes together for him soon. He's been pointless this season.

Really don't rate him. One decent performance every 10 games isn't really good enough or what we should be striving for in a starting player.

His finishing has been wasteful, but I don't think Martial would have got anywhere near to having these chances. Lingard's movement has been excellent again and I think it's quite unfair that he gets such ridicule. Mkhitaryan's missed another great chance but he won't get half the stick.

£100k a week player - obviously not.

Underrated a bit on here - I'd say so.

I'd agree but he needs to finish those to change that (or become French)

No offence mate, but give it a rest. This 'movement has been excellent' nonsense really needs to stop. He has ran around like every other player has. Nothing out of the ordinary.

I know but if Rooney has shown anything it's that different players hit their peaks at different ages. I'd rather lingaard any day to Rooney btw (nowadays)

Edit I've said it a few times; lingaard makes more than Thiago... Rooney makes more than any Munich player. Our club is more than a bit of a mess the last few years.

Not much of a comparison though is it. Both shouldn't be at the club.

Movement has been excellent my ass. Crouch offers better movement with that robot dance. Lingard is no better than Cleverley and look where he ended up. Wellbeck was better

There are spoiled United fans that can't accept defeat or failure, and they have to find a scapegoat. First it was Rooney, then Fellaini and now Lingard. Ultimately, he's not good enough to be where we want to be, but he has his merits and is getting in the team through merit alone. It can't be denied that his movement off the ball is among his best attributes. There are ways of criticising a player without the meaningless 'he's rubbish' comments.

I'm not saying you are one of these posters, but there are far too many on this forum that don't seem to grasp these concepts and just knee-jerk comments left, right and centre.

To be fair, I have been called a 'hater' numerous times over the last 18 months with Lingard but I have just been honest and told it how it is with him. I have give him credit when he has played well, but I can honestly count on 2 hands the amount of good games he has had for us in the last 18 months. Which for a starter at Manchester United (because lately that's what he has been) it just isn't good enough. Jose likes him for some reason and seems to give him unlimited chances with Fellaini, that's what I find frustrating. With Mata back, Lingard should be spending some games on the sidelines.

Is he really a squad player for us considering he seems to start every big match?

I am someone who thinks he is useful and should remain at the club but in crunch ties these misses could come back to haunt us.

Yeah, it's crazy.

The thing I find really weird is why offer him that? Where else is he gonna go?

If Dele Alli is happy on 45k, I honestly don't understand why Lingard couldn't be offered 30-40k and be over the Moon with it.
He turned down 60k a week if reports are true. So we offer him 100...

Looks like he's going to complete the match, after another shocking performance. I appreciate Jose has to stick with his decision to give him the contract but for how much longer, it's already embarrassing?

I understand the frustrations with Jesse and I'm sure Mata will come back in when he's ready. I can certainly see the merits of playing Lingard in an away leg of a European semi final ahead of our other options though.
