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.
Yeah we’re not claiming Warrington
Yep choosing in 2021 to run his contract down has proved to be a spectacularly bad career move.
No idea why he thought not staying at West Ham was a good idea. He was absolutely brilliant there.
He will regret that decision to come back and stay on our bench for a long time.
It’s a bit difficult to recapture your previous form from the injury table, where he’s been for pretty much the 2nd half of the season. But hey, we all hate Jlingz here 
17 games - 0 goals 0 assistsIt’s a bit difficult to recapture your previous form from the injury table, where he’s been for pretty much the 2nd half of the season. But hey, we all hate Jlingz here
Not the 1st or 2nd season of such woeful production either. But yea, he's brilliant just misunderstood.
I still think he has played a blinder. He had had two short, brief periods of real form in his whole career and he has managed to manipulate that into a 10+ year career, score a goal in an FA Cup final, over 200 appearances for Manchester United and his last contract was 200k a week!
He is bright, bubbly and energetic (and immature) as a personality and he hasn’t just maximized his talent, he has achieved way beyond what his talented merited.
If he now goes to the US or Middle East and cashes in again, he will have played it perfectly. Without his divisive personality, he is playing for Millwall and getting 15k a week.
He has smashed it to be honest.

A tragically poor decision maker.
Yeh, in the first half of the season when teams were walking through us for fun. Pretty much all of our attackers had similar stats. Difficult to create or score if you spend most of the game defending in your own half. I’m not trying to say he’s been a success but there’s a narrative on here regarding Lingard that is BS.
Lingard, Pogba era summed up what's wrong with United
club should've done the same
club should've done the same
Agree with this.
Two periods of good form in his entire career and he's managed to milk them for all they are worth.
About 3 months in the 17/18 season for us and his loan spell at West Ham. That's it basically.
I think he'll go to a club in the USA now.
A 29 year old has no business signing a 1 year contract for that exact reason, injuries. A very bad move from him, players his age fight to get 4-5 year deals because you don't want to be club less, low reputation at his age. He can't get the maximum contract he could have got.It’s a bit difficult to recapture your previous form from the injury table, where he’s been for pretty much the 2nd half of the season. But hey, we all hate Jlingz here
He signed a one year deal because it suited both parties in the event of us going back down
He had other more stable clubs offering him a contract. He has managed the situation badly.
He could have been a proper player and had a decent career but it seemed like he just stopped caring and took the money.
Money
Scottish football is calling.
West Ham baby, no wait.
Last year he was blaming the club for his bad career moves. I wonder who he is going to blame now.
He should have been looking for a multi-year contract with clauses in the case of you getting relegated that included a fairly low release clause (which protects him) and a significant wage decrease (which protects Forest). That way he could easily get out if you did get relegated but he also couldn't just sit on those wages in the Championship and be a massive drain on the club.
It's actually worked well for Forest since he wasn't worth the wages he was on and you can now just release him, but it's likely quite a bad situation for Lingard now. There's a fair chance that any wages he gets now are significantly less than what he could have got 12 months ago, so ultimately he would have got more money by signing a 4 year contract on lower wages then (whether with you or somebody else). Maybe it won't work like that and he'll still get good wages since he's on a free, but I'll be surprised.
It's a big summer for him. The final decision
Not glam enough for the Middle East, why would they want him? They want Lambourghini’s to show off, nobody is impressed by a 2008 Fiesta. MLS would be a good option for him but he seems close with his family and probably would want to stay in England.
Chamoionship club, a Southampton Leeds or Leicester might take a punt, as at a lower level he aint too bad. Remember Brum?
Kind of a great comparison in terms of level. Young really was a great professional.
Well near enough.
And he's been "working" in Manchester since he was a kid and likely living in Manchester most of his life.
Ashley young was miles better talent than Lingard. He was very good left winger during his Villa days, played at a level beyond Lingard's ability.
He was in PFA team of the year twice and also won PFA young player of the year. This was at the time when PL had attacking talents like Ronaldo, Rooney, Tevez, Berbatov, Torres, Drogba, RVP, Nasri, Fabregas, Gerrard, Modric (played as LW at times) and few others.
I think the bad career move was taking a 1 year contract with Forrest, rather than than running down his contract at United.
A three year contract at West Ham on less money a year would have been the safer move.
Forest were completely insane giving him close to 200k. Thats something like what United would do
He would have made more money taking a 3 year deal at Newcastle or West Ham.
Don't know what his bonuses were but I'm sure at least some of that £200k a week was dependent on appearances never mind goals or assists.

MLS to 'build his brand' is a sure thing
Always thought he’d look good in a Hearts top.
Can tell he’s a brain dead player. Followed the money instead of thinking about his career. Who chooses forest over West Ham? 
He could have won a trophy next week.
He could have won a trophy next week.I bet even Saudi league clubs won't want him.
Where is Dele Ali?
Glad ETH Came in and Helped Rashford before he self destruct.

Everybody is forgetting that time he scored 4 goals on his debut on loan at Birmingham.
Well probably yeah, with both decisions though he was basing them purely on money.
Not really mate Warrington isn't even greater Manchester never mind Manchester.
By that logic I suppose Johnny Evans, McTominay or any kid that joins Uniteds academy and moves to Manchester at 16 are Mancs too.
Or maybe we just accept that Jesse Lingard isn't from Manchester.
Wrexham?
I can't see any MLS team using the Designated Player tag on him. While some players make very good money in the MLS, I doubt any club would put him in that bracket. At best he might get an offer for $400K USD per year which is a far cry from what he was making. All of his own doing mind you.
