Loss against Hull in the EFL 2nd leg was his last start I believe. Before that was the 2-0 away win to West Ham at the start of 2017.

Ah knew I would be wrong! Christ, I don't remember him from that Hull game at all but then again, it's a game to forget. Also, what loss to Hull

Much better tonight.
Best he's played in ages, the difference in our play when he came on and Fellaini went off was massive. Probably earned himself a start on Sunday.

I have always liked his movement off the ball, maybe one of his best qualities. Should start against Blackburn.
We improved when he came on as he added extra zip and movement around Ibra that was non existent with Fellaini up there, I think he'll start on Sunday.
I think he will always be more handy when he goes on in the second half. Defenders are more tired and there's more space to run into, works well for him.
A valuable member of the team. As long as he's happy with a squad role we should hang into him.
He helped change the dynamic of the game when he came on. He was direct and helped create space for others with his runs, and it turned us into an offence is the best defence team for that second half. Was good to see.
Agree hes better as a sub with the players we got (but one we should keep in our squad for games like FA Cup coming up).

Needs to go. Not the level required. End of.
I don't think he's the type of player who thrives on being rewarded with starts. He is just so inconsistent.
When he's in the mood and the situation is right (which is hard to predict) he can be a very useful player.
I don't get the rationale that he needs to go. He's a youth product and seems a v good squad player, probably very low wages (relatively) and is a decent sub in the right games. I agree that I never see him reaching a really high level but that doesn't mean he should be shipped out.
His movement totally changed the game when he came one, it created more space for Herrera and Pogba that helped to calm us down and improve our control of the game. He had some good touches too, and could have had a assist had Zlatan been a tad quicker. He's a great squad option to have.
Seriously? That tonight was the very definition of the importance of squad variety. Which of us would have come up with Jesse as the solution to the mess that we were in that first half? Not I. But he entirely changed the dynamic in the second half with his movement, which is like nobody else's on our books. I appreciate his inconsistency but where's the percentage in moving him on when he can offer what he did tonight?
Good stuff from Jesse.
Not much quality, but lots of running around... which is quite useful against a team that basically was a whole 11 of Jesse Lingards.
He done OK. Think a few comments going overboard in here about it though, which is generally the case with Lingard. I don't mind him coming of the bench like this as he does have good energy which can work well against tired legs. But certainly don't want him starting big games.
He ran, whoopee do..
Yesterday's match second half 54.35 sums him up totally
Makes a run down the wing , Mata finds him with a pass , two players waiting in the middle, he's past the last defender, Florentin Pogba. What does he do, run with the ball?...no, cross the ball?... no, pass the ball?...no. He turns back towards the defender loses the ball and then fouls him. No more ... please.

That's all he is and that's the role he should be play in our team. Nothing more
A viable squad option. We can't get much better players as subs for Mata/Martial/Mkhitaryan/Griezman(?) and expect them to be happy sitting ont he bench.
Can see Lingard being happy enough to stick it out here.

I think it showed more of why Fellaini shouldn't play regularly. Anyone is an improvement over him. I'm not saying Lingard should go, but he shouldn't be nowhere near the starting XI until he proves himself with every chance he gets to make an impact of the bench, as he did yesterday.
Credit to Jose indeed, but a mistake to choose Fellainin in a forward role imo. I was hoping he would replace Fellaini, gal he did but surprised it was Lingard; that said he made a very positive impact.
Yup, those are two good observations in my book!
Good display and will keep him interested, motivated and may well get him a start against the Rovers?
Blackburn 1:2 Man Utd
I know we're only 25 minutes in, but why does our attack always suffer when he's on the pitch?
He's trying hard but sadly doesn't seem to have the quality to capitalize.
A complete poverty player. Can't Pogba be kept company by someone else so we can sell this stain?
Rather him than Fellaini.
That's like saying you'd rather eat a vomit sandwich over a turd sandwich.
He needs to stay wide right and stop coming so centrally, he's taking space away from Mkhitaryan.
Your money or your life?
I would like for him to have a game at AM just to see why he cuts in so much - it must be his natural position.
He's just not that good a player. At his best, he's a good squad option but otherwise he's a filler for a mid to lower table PL side.
Don't like him as a starter. He's ok off the bench.
Are you watching him? And it's not just today. He wouldn't get into the Blackburn side. My ire against him is worsened by this "caf darling" halo he has over his head excusing him of being a fraud.
Fantastic movement for the goal, that ball is near impossible if he doesn't drag the defender away.
Someone tell him to stop playing hide and seek..
Embarrassing. Also reported.
He's good technically but he's constantly making wrong decisions. Frustrating player
this guy is so average. god.
