. Exactly that. It is the same story as with Jones. All he needs to do is a few good games and "good backup option" shit starts. Same story among fans over and over and over again.

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik and Imran hold a long overdue conversation about United's awful league form with 1 win in 7. They discuss a disappointing draw at Bournemouth, a not so disappointing draw against Liverpool and a crushing defeat at Chelsea - Is time nearly over for Erik Ten Hag?
Then in a special second half of the pod, Nik welcomes Natalie ( https://twitter.com/natalie_17) to discuss the fortunes of Manchester United Women as they booked a place in the FA Cup Final after a historic first ever win vs. Chelsea.

. Exactly that. It is the same story as with Jones. All he needs to do is a few good games and "good backup option" shit starts. Same story among fans over and over and over again.The assumption is that the new contract would be for more money. But in reality he would likely be offered terms of a squad role as opposed to first team salary he previously had.
In that sense it wouldn't be a bad idea. He is currently better than vdb, mata and James (ignoring amad and pellestri) and the natural back up to Bruno. So if we are going on performances it would be a rationale thing unless we have other plans.
It depends on him accepting a salary reduction and bench time to stay.
Please god won't someone, anyone just make an offer for him
To be honest I'm not sure if anyone knows for sure!!
I think the 100k figure was achieved through bonuses, but he has a 75k basic.
Still not shoddy either way
Yeah I get that chain of thought, if someone puts in a £20m plus bid then I'm sure we'd take it.
However, if he stays I have no issue at all with that.
Currently Lingard is a better player than Amad and has proved he can still provide in the premiership.
I reckon West Ham are negotiating really hard to get the best price possible. United are in a pretty strong position because Ole would probably happily keep him, regardless of his previous issue with form he clearly loves United and would be very unlikely to grumble at being kept as backup.
I think if we sell him it will be for a good fee.

God do you not have your eyes open when watching United, or do you only care that he's a local lad so you can't say anything against him, he had a purple patch in the 17-18 campaign and that's pretty much the only highlight of his entire career with us, multiple seasons of bang average performances and we should reward him with a new contract and play him, why? The only reason i can think of is he's from the academy, that's the only legitimate reason i can give for people to defend this man, yes, man, 28 year old man, not up and coming youngster of 22 years of age.
This guy is an attacking midfielder who has less assists than Adam Johnson and Adam Johnson has spent half that time in prison, please get rid of this guy, so damn average.
I don't think anyone hates him personally, I think people hate the idea that his form could return to what it was for over half his time at United ("over half" is very generous) which was unfortunately very, very poor.
Anyone surprised he isn't pushing for a move? (or anything in the media about it)
You'd think he'll know if he's on the bench mostly, he's nowhere going to be in the England squad for the WC. Playing first team football will be his best chance.

On the form he displayed for West Ham he is our best back up to Bruno and maybe he is hitting his peak now.
I am cool with him getting a new deal if his form this season warrants it.

I'd sell if we could get a good price, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if he remained as a squad option even though that wouldn't be my preference. I think he's had more chances than most (except Phil Jones
) here at United and it would be in both his, and the clubs best interest if he moved on.Since he seems to be staying, I feel he'd be a better back-up for the left side.
A better player than James, but his complete lack of creative output in the middle makes him stand out there.
Best period at the club came from playing on the left as well.

As much as I’ve seen in one year he is definately better than Van de Beek and James. And hell even McTominay. Do you look players positions also or want to compare him next to De Gea or Heaton?
A lot of people here seem to have very short memories.
About time we got rid. Just like how Kagawa and Nani were gotten rid of to make way for him, he needs to be gone for the likes of Diallo to get a chance. He's had a go, earned a lot from the last few years and has disappointed for a number of years. Only fair to make way for new blood.
We have far too many mediocre players on the payroll. We need to stop to be sentimental regarding these guys. Sell him and get some money for him now. Pereira, Dalot, Matic, Jones and Lingard should all be moved away this summer.
Jessie will get flushed out for minutes especially in the midfield. If Solskjaer truly is going to a 3 man midfield with no diamond Lingard will not get game time.
Jesse is going to have a great season for whoever he plays for. Not enough is made of the off field issues he went through. I'd much rather keep him than someone like VDB, who never wanted to be here in the first place.
I'd love to see him link up with Sancho when he gets the chance this season. I think Lingard should be backing up Bruno this season.
Nothing against him but we need to take our chance and get a few bucks for him now and get him off the wage bill.
On another note I am also for cashing in on Pogba.
We need to act meaningful from a financial point of view and make the right decisions, times have changed.

Have people in this thread lost their minds? There’s absolutely no way we should be keeping him. I mean look at the hate Martial gets in his thread compared to this one despite the fact Martial is levels above Lingard. Sell while we can.
Sell him whilst his stock is high. Lingard’s time here is done. Moving on will be best for both parties.
If he has any sort of sense, he should be pushing for an exit. I mean he had a great loan spell at West Ham, revived his "form" or whatever it was, showed PL clubs he can do a job and should be looking for a 5 year PL contract as his last good pay off. I just hope he chooses the right club for himself and does well.
VDB had a bad season but he's young, talented and could still be a good player for us. That's 3 things going for him that Lingard doesn't have.
No club is going to offer him a better contract than us though. And if he can take Dvb's place then it makes perfect sense for him to stay.
.... ridiculous
People with his personality type will usually be thinking 'my time at West Ham proved I can hang at United if I just get the chance'.
133 games in PL for us. 18 goals and 12 assists. That is one assist in every 11 games (excellent stat for no10) and goal in every 7.5 games. Yeah, worth keeping him.
Bloody hell, how many years and games people need to understand that he is not good enough?

Got his smile back!
Like having a new signing.
Clear to see that the guy is a late boomer like Vardy. The joke around here that he's still developing might actually be the case. Not that I'm saying he shouldn't be sold.
Not quite. Lingard still has a lot to contribute at United if allowed IMO
Wouldn't be against him staying especially if Pogba leaves
I think given his contract, he should leave or it'd have us in a weird contract negotiation phase.
I'd love to see him and Martial try to squeeze out Rashford, Cavani, Sancho and Greenwood from the starting lineup.

Sell ffs, we never learn. Like they never saw how Sir Alex was ruthless.
He was very good for West Ham but I think it was mostly the result of big fish in small pond syndrome. I don't have any expectations that he'll suddenly become a consistent performer for us.
You can say lots of things about Jesse, some good and some bad. But one thing he has never displayed in his career to date is consistency, so I doubt he will ever be a consistent performer for anyone. Even during his loan at West Ham his good form waned towards the end.
Is this one of those body language things?
Some relationships just runs its course. This one should have ended a long time ago. The antics and horrible form has gone on for waaaaay to long. Everyone goes through rough patches in life, but you can't be sentimental in this line of work. Ship him out - our squad is far to big anyway.
Looks excellent.
