Jesse Lingard's manager at FC Seoul has slammed the former Manchester United star's effort since his move to South Korea last month.
Lingard moved to the K League in February after leaving Nottingham Forest at the end of the 2022/23 season. The 31-year-old featured 20 times for Forest last term, helping them avoid relegation from the Premier League.
After no move materialised last summer, Lingard opted to leave Europe to join Seoul ahead of the start of the 2024 season. He has started just once of their opening four games, coming off the bench in the 2-0 win over Jeju United.

And manager Kim Gi-dong has declared he hasn't been pleased with Lingard's work rate since his move to the Seoul World Cup Stadium. "I've been thinking a lot about removing Jesse," he said.
"I don't think a player who doesn't run for a few minutes is a football player.
"If he doesn't fight, and doesn't run better than the player who runs for 90 minutes? If you're going to play soccer in the name, you shouldn't just take the retired players?"
It isn't the first time that Gi-dong has criticised Lingard. After his side picked up their first three points of the season two weeks ago, the Seoul boss was frustrated with Lingard's appearance off the bench.
"Even though he came on as a substitute, he didn't work hard and avoided tussle," he said. "The name value has no meaning on the pitch. I will tell him this exactly."
Lingard is currently out injured with a reported meniscus issue.
