Jesse Lingard not included in Man Utd's US tour

[Triggaaar]

This is good news

Is it news?

 

[keaton]

I'm guessing he's nowhere near good enough to get in the Man U team this season or at any point in the future

 

[drew]

Im guessing hes gonna have a full pre season with the team that he gets loaned to (hopefully us) but I personally think United should be giving him a shot this year.

Hasn't he missed most of our pre season then?

 

[Marshy]

Is it news?

Well it is if we get him on loan for the season, in my opinion ;-)

I agree it would be news, but I don't think it is news yet. Seems that website has lots of errors in it, so we still have no idea where he's going.

I know I'm not alone in thinking he was a pretty poor player for us. Scared to tackle, not a great finisher and extremely lightweight

But has he signed for us again on loan? If he has, why don't the club just announce it?

Unless and until there is such an announcement from the club, we have to assume that he hasn't, and that it's just an error on the website.

You're right, of course. That said, I could easily imagine Lingard being loaned out to us again.

 

[Hotchilidog]

He still appears on the Man United website as their player. If Moyes was still there I'd have fancied his chances but with LVG taking over I can see his opportunities being very limited as they attract bigger names to the first squad. I certainly wouldn't mind him returning, I thought he contemned to improve with each game that played.

I approve of your imagination.

If he does come on loan, we must not agree to the alleged "only if he starts every game".

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

If he does come on loan, we must not agree to the alleged "only if he starts every game".

I very much doubt this sort of clause is actually in any loan contract. I haven't seen such a contract (nor has virtually everyone else on here) but it doesn't make sense for a loaning club to agree to that.

Maybe if a player is clearly way above the standard of other players at the club and is coming short term simply to get fit, but certainly no ambitious club would agree to that.

I'm sure the loaning club would agree to a clause saying the loanee will play as often as possible but the manager must make the final decision each team.

I suspect the must-start-every-game clause is one of footballs many myths

Whilst I'd be happy to have him back with us, he's shown nothing to indicate he'd be anywhere near the United first team whoever was in charge. The difference between our level and United, even if they did come 7th, is huge and he didn't exactly take us by storm.

 

[imbrightontillidie]

LVG begins his job for united tomorrow so I reckon they are waiting for his overall decision

You are forgetting the rules that if you repeat something often enough on NSC it becomes fact.

You're right. I completely forgot that rule.

Sorry, it won't happen again

 

[Footsoldier]

If he doesn't cost us a penny then yes but if we have to cover some or all his wages then no thanks.

 

[Uncle C]

If he doesn't cost us a penny then yes but if we have to cover some or all his wages then no thanks.

So who exactly was the last player we got in who "didn't cost us a penny"?

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Who is 'we' anyway? Brighton fan agin, now? Was one season at Selhurst enough for you, then?
