Should Man United keep Jesse Lingard or sell him for higher price

Jesse Lingard proceeded with his exciting form for West Ham with a fine goal in the 3-2 win over Wolves on Monday.

Subsequent to gathering the ball in his own half at Molineux, Lingard conveyed the ball into the Wolves box, flooding clear of Leander Dendoncker and Romain Saiss prior to beating Rui Patricio with a left-footed shot towards the goal.

Lingard later helped with an assist to his mate Jarrod Bowen, as West Ham won 3-2 to support their odds of completing in the Premier League top four, a position they hold with eight matches to go. The assaulting midfielder has nine-goal contributions in eight matches (six objectives, three bits of help) since making his West Ham debut on February 3rd.

Lingard procured an England call-up for International matches for his amazing West Ham shows in a credit spell that was at first expected to go before a perpetual move, either to the Hammers or somewhere else. At the point when he made a flying beginning at West Ham, reports at first engaged around how his transfer price had expanded.

However, the continuation of his amazing play implies there are presently inquiries about whether he can compel his way back into Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s arrangements at Old Trafford. It is a situation that looked profoundly impossible two months prior, yet former United legend Gary Neville currently thinks he can be forced back into Man United’s plans next season.

LINGARD AT UNITED: 

Lingard was frequently condemned yet had his minutes at United, where he got through the young framework. He scored in their FA Cup in the last win over Crystal Palace in 2016 and won the Europa League a year later.

Lingard played 33 Premier League matches (20 beginnings) for United as of late as 2018-19, scoring multiple times and adding five bits of help. Yet, his playing time kept on diminishing from that point until he was frozen out by Solskjaer in the primary portion of this season, not showing up in the Premier League.

Before his exit, Lingard didn’t score or help a solitary Premier League goal for United in a time of 33 matches more than a year and a half.

WEST HAM RESURGENCE:

Presently, however, Lingard’s nine-goal associations since playing for West Ham makes it the best stats in the Premier League with Tottenham striker Harry Kane, whom himself is having a paramount mission.

He sits above other in-form stars like Gabriel Jesus (7) and Bruno Fernandes, Kelechi Iheanacho, and Ilkay Gundogan (every one of the 6). West Ham’s success over Wolves saw the Hammers flaunt their counter-assaulting capacity.

Just Leeds United (6) have scored a larger number of counter-attacking goals from quick breaks than David Moyes’ side this season (5), with two of those coming at Molineux. Manchester United have been at their best under Solskjaer when they have absorbed pressing factor and blossomed with the counter-assault.

So there is a contention Lingard could find a place with United and simply required a run of matches to get his mood and certainty back, boosting his expectations of playing for England at Euro 2020 simultaneously.

NEVILLE ON LINGARD DILEMMA:

Neville accepts there can be a part for Lingard at United, however, it would come at the expense of not playing week in, week out.

Gary Neville while talking to Monday Night Football said: “He does an incredible amount of running. It’s what he does. He’s good out of possession and good in possession. At Manchester United. because there is that expectation of what you need to be, to be a wide player there, he’s always going to get a difficult press. But if he was playing in a world-class team, if he was, say, Ji-Sung Park 10 years ago playing with Ronaldo and Rooney, doing that supplementary role, then people would be saying he’s perfect for this squad. The problem is he was not playing in Manchester United teams as well as that, so he gets a bit of stick. He’s a really good player. He’s going to have a great career. Manchester United has sent him out to West Ham to boost his career, maybe with the thought of boosting his price tag, but they might be thinking, ‘actually, we might want him back, he could be a real help to us’. If Jesse wants to play, and you can see he does want to play, then he needs to leave, because he’s not going to play every single week for a Manchester United team that’s competing for second or first place in the league. But if he’s willing to go back there and compete and be the player that Dan James has been for the last few weeks, in and out, then there’s no doubt he can play for Manchester United.”

Considering Lingard’s dilemma it seems that this story will be hugely interesting as it moves forwards. United would be looking to tie up a deal for Lingard or sell him for a higher price.
