Lingard has told The Independent of why he Left Manchester United

According to Jesse Lingard, he admitted that he was crying on the way home after deciding not to accept sitting on the bench for money at Manchester United.

The England international is a product of the Red Devils’ fabled academy system. He took in 232 appearances for the Premier League heavyweights, scoring 35 goals, but opted to walk away as a free agent in the summer of 2022. Lingard made no top-flight appearances for United in 2020-21, leading to him enjoying a productive loan spell at West Ham, and his situation barely improved after being welcomed back into the Old Trafford fold by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer. Speaking to press Jesse Lingard said, Being in the same environment for a long time… it kind of stifles you. In football, you’ve always got ups and downs. You’ve got to be mentally strong. And, you know, sometimes at United, I wasn’t. Things happen off the pitch that you can’t really control… it affects you on the pitch. “I spoke to Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and a couple of staff members and they understood, because they’re human as well. It comes to a certain point where, when you’re not playing regularly, you’re not just going to sit there for the money

Bruno Fernandes defends Ruben Amorim's criticism of Manchester United

United were trailing by two goals as they headed to the dressing room after the break. It took Fernandes' spectacular free-kick to bring the club into the game before Manuel Ugarte's maiden strike for the Red Devils earned a hard-fought point in their final fixture at Goodison Park against Everton. Manager Amorim did not mince his words after the game, as he brutally slammed his players for a nightmare first-half performance. At full-time, captain Fernandes was quizzed on the club scoring two set-piece goals to which he told BBC Match of the Day: "We need to score more from these situations.
