Manchester United told they have made Jesse Lingard transfer mistake
03.02.2022 - 08:39 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
Manchester United have been told that they have made a mistake by keeping hold of Jesse Lingard in the January transfer window.
MEN Sport understands that Ralf Rangnick told Lingard he was free to leave United on two separate occasions last month.
Some sources claim the 29-year-old had told the club at the start of the window that he was happy to stay at Old Trafford for the remainder of the season.
Other sources dispute these claims, saying that Lingard wished to leave Manchester United after contract discussions between the club and player broke down in November.
Whichever tale of events is correct, many were shocked to hear Lingard's transfer away from United had been blocked on transfer deadline day.
And supporters of the Red Devils believe that this was the incorrect decision.
In a Manchester Evening News survey, 68% of nearly 8,500 respondents believed that United should have sold Lingard in January.
A further 15% thought that he should have been loaned out during the winter window with a mere 17% believing the United hierarchy were right to keep him.
Manchester United return to competitive action on Friday night when they host Middlesbrough in the FA Cup.
