Fans of Manchester United Football Club can be proud this evening. Those players out there gave absolutely everything they had, though the damage was done during the first 30-minutes at Old Trafford.
To claw back into this tie deserves some credit, as does beating Manchester City on the night. Perhaps if we had a little more quality then things could have been different. Who knows, if Bruno Fernandes had signed earlier then maybe, just maybe, we’d be on our way to Wembley…
Instead, United fans were left frustrated with Jesse Lingard once again. I just don’t get it. Not that long ago, the Englishman was putting in some brilliant performances for club and country, now, he just looks a beaten man and it’s actually super-sad.
I love Lingard as a person. He’s a fun-loving guy who absolutely adores playing football for a living. Right now, he’s going through a rough patch and his performance against City summed it up.
Lingard just couldn’t make things happen. His passing was poor, his movement wasn’t as good as it can be while he drifted in and out of the game. I think that even Ole Gunnar Solskjaer lost his patience with the Warrington-born-attacker in the end, too (see video below)…
Anyway, as you’d imagine, United fans took to Twitter in their droves to fume at the 27-year-old for his poor display vs City. These days, it’s hard to back Lingard which is a proper shame – and you do feel as though he’s living on borrowed time at Old Trafford…
