I feel lingard gets alot of abuse for something that isnt his fault. He isnt the one picking himself, and we would be silly to expect him to be the one to make a difference starting a game.
That being said, I think Neville hit the nail on the head, under Fergie, Lingard would have been your home grown academy player, who would be part of the squad, as the 15th 16th 17th player. He is of a similar level to Gibson, Cleverley, Welbeck, to name a few, and in the right situation, he can be affective, but lack of quality recruitment leaves us in this position im afraid.
