rashford is probably the worst person to put on the right side against Robertson. He rarely tracks back on the best of days.

He’s probably told not to. You know, coaching? Skills put aside, Messi never tracks back because he’s needed for bursts of energy. Similar to Rashford I’d imagine.
Besides, he does track back.
Sure you tell yourself that
Well you know, coaching against Liverpool will say follow Robertson and Trent Alexander Arnold whenever they go forward as they're a huge weapon for liverpool.
you know, tactics.
It baffled me the other night vs Watford how he managed to get to play through the middle ahead of Mata 
Lingard has the pace to play wide and doesn't have the brain to play through the middle. Yet Mata is the opposite.

You could ask why is Mata playing on the right wing instead of in the middle at any point in the last 7 years and it would be equally baffling.It baffled me the other night vs Watford how he managed to get to play through the middle ahead of Mata

Agreed with this. I think when he and Cleveley were coming through they never understood that it's not enough to just keep the ball, you have to progress play and be able to eventually do something with the ball. I've not kept up to date with Clev but certainly with Lingard it's never felt like he's pushed on from this.
He's not a bad player but as you say right now it's hard to see what he really brings. I can imagine that if he was fine being a fringe player then having him as a sub in a game which you've already won and just want to hold on to the ball or you just wanted him to work hard/help keep the ball etc then he'd be fine but that isn't much of a role for him and isn't really what we need- we need players who can impact games.
I think he does need to be moved on for his career and to free up a spot in the squad for us. I do think though that even for a smaller team he is going to have to adapt to become someone who tries to make things happen more often. Maybe playing in games that are typically more open etc will help him although I think it's more about him and his willingness to make an impact on the ball and make attacking movement of the ball.
Master of training rondos and futile attacking football did what he did best. Minimize goal scoring threat for his own team.
Glad we’re near the end with this guy.

Yeah there are similarities with cleverleys development. Ironically Tom is playing for Watford in the championship as that’s his level. I wish Lingard good fortune in his career when he leaves United. But I have a feeling before long the championship beckons for him also.
Well put. The smug, rehearsed goal celebration every year pisses me off. If you’re scoring goals for fun then by all means prepare a goal celebration.
Just let him go, it's best for him, he needs to be playing, and it's best for us, hes just not good enough for where we want to be. It's not like we are losing a squad player who's always on the bench or getting games.
Nice move for him. Will be even more nice if it’s made permanent.
Huge drop off between Nice and the Milan teams, what's he hoping to achieve by playing in France? Just playing in general?
Either way, Nice can't afford a permanent transfer so he'll be back in the summer. Hopefully he impresses PSG or something and Leonardo makes us a decent offer.

Going on the form he's shown recently I reckon he'd have a problem getting in Fulham's team. Thought he could help big Sam out but doubt if he's up for getting his hands dirty.
Leonardo will take him as a ball boy or in what capacity? Neymar won’t allow him on the pitch
Spurs bound?
Think it is unfair keeping him here, against his will if he wants to leave.
He's not playing. So let him go.

Eh?
Nobody wanted to pay a transfer fee last summer, why do people insist we a charity and should let players off on a free?
He is thankfully off in the summer. I still have nightmares over the dark days of him and Andreas as our number 10s.
Ole gave an answer which gives the impression he will not be allowed to leave because Ole wants to protect the sizer of his squad.
I think that's unfair to Lingard. If a player can't get in the team, you have a moral obligation to let him go if a decebt offer arrives imo.
but where is this “decent offer”? Only loans, no purchase offers available at all
Seemingly been cut from the 22 man squad and Amad Diallo added in, according to Twitter.
All i'm seeing is everyone crying over him and saying how much they'll miss him like he's Eric Cantona or something, it's absolutely blowing my mind.

Ole is desperately trying to force Jlingz out. I'd gie him a run on the right, can't be worse than Greenwood this season.
If we've given up on the right, I'd rather experiment with the 2 new guys.
Not the first time you'e said that.
Perfect news before the weekend
fecking hell, I'm almost starting to feel sorry for him now. Can't blame anyone but himself though really.Does Moyes want him? Can we use him as a sweetener for a deal for Rice? We can also throw Jones in or something.
He can and has been, even in his limited appearances. The criticism on Greenwood is far too harsh, his all-round game has been fine, he's just lacking end product. Giving that time to Lingard, who's now 28 and has had years to show what he can do, would be a waste of time and poor squad management IMO.
It's not about whether he's worse now though, is it?
Assuming Lingard is leaving soon, what is going to be most beneficial to United? Playing Lingard who is in bad form and leaving anyway, or playing Greenwood who is in bad form but is a United player who needs minutes to develop and is likely to be here for years?
He is out of the squad for which competition? EPL, or EL squad?
One of whom we’re sending out on loan.
How many chances do you want to give him? He couldn't even impress vs minnows when given the chance.
I've had enough of his world class at running shit from his fanboys.
Has been absolute shit for almost 3 years now.

No room for passengers at United under Ole.
Thanks for the memories Jesse, done more for this club then my fellow keyboard warriors could dream of. . .
Will never understand the hate players that have actually at some point done something for the club get because they didn’t pan out to be the player we’d all hoped for.

That's what I'm wondering. Sounds like it might be the first team set up.
It’s time for Jesse to try something new, to start with clean sheets. With trust and more responsibility I think he can contribute a lot on a mid-level team in PL. If Jesse still is hungry and wants to fulfil his potential, it’s possible United will regret we sold him.
Exactly. No need to hate.
Thanks for the performances and helping us win a trophy!
Respect.
Said it before that he will be gone soon. He has been given many chances, but his form has been bad for a while, yet he could have been a decent squad player.
Sad how it's gone for him. I have wanted him sold for ages but the guy is United through and through. Thought he would leave on a better note.
