I havent tracked the story so well so what is it. Lingard wanted to go, club stopped the move cause of Greenwood situation or cause not agreeing with a club who wanted him, then he was apparently asked to take time of but Lingard says it isnt so?
As per Rangnick, Lingard did not say he wanted to leave in Jan window
10 days before window close, he said he wants to leave
Club discussed with interested parties, but could not come to an agreement
Meanwhile Greenwood problem cropped up, with club now needing one more attacking player in the squad, just 1-2 days before window close
Given that agreement never happened, club suspended anymore discussions.
As per Rangnick: Lingard needed time off to clear his head. Club obliged.
As per Lingard: He didn't need any time off. He was 100% professional and ready. Club asked him to take time off.
Though not sure why he took it if he was clear in his head and ready.
