Can’t blame the coach though for his comments. Can’t fault a manager for expecting effort as a bare minimum, regardless of level, wage or reputation. In Lingard and other high-profile player’s cases, to earn hundreds of thousands of quid a week and be overweight is the height of unprofessionalism IMHO.

There are good and bad professionals in every line of work…
