Lingard was applauded at Old Trafford despite criticizing MU

53 minutes, Lingard hurt after a collision phase. The English striker seems to have suffered a hamstring injury and cannot continue playing. While the player born in 1992 hobbled off the field, MU fans simultaneously gave him a round of applause.

The 30-year-old star also responded with the same action. This move was different from the tense atmosphere created by Lingard himself before the match. He criticized the “Red Devils” when he was constantly pushed to the bench in the last season of playing football at Old Trafford.

“I don’t know why I can’t play (in the last season of MU – PV). Because of politics or whatever? So far, I have not found the answer. Sure, someone said to me ‘here’ That’s why you have to be a substitute’, but that didn’t happen. It was all just false promises, “Lingard shared in the Telegraph.

“I train hard, ready to play every match of MU. So it is very uncomfortable to show hard work but do not have the opportunity to play,” the former MU star shared.

Lingard only played 16 matches in the Premier League 2021/22, including 14 times from the bench. Before the 2021/22 season, coach Ole Gunnar Solskjaer declared Lingard an important position in the MU squad. Instead of continuing to loan midfielders in 1992, Ole decided to keep his students at Old Trafford. But Ole’s actions contradict what he has shared. At the stage when coach Ralf Rangnick led MU, Lingard continued to disappear. After the 2021/22 season, the English midfielder became a free agent and joined Nottingham Forest.

Before MU, Lingard had his 14th game for Nottingham Forest in the Premier League and had yet to score. He played hard but could not make a difference before leaving the field due to injury. This match, the “Red Devils” completely controlled the game and won 3-0 thanks to the goals of Marcus Rashford, Anthony Martial and Fred. Losing the match left Nottingham Forest at 19th place in the Premier League table.
