West Ham Loan Spell Should’ve Revived My MUFC Career – Lingard

England forward Jesse Lingard has said that he could have revived his Manchester United career if given a proper chance to do so. He recently had his say while speaking to the press, and fans have been reacting.

According to him, his productive loan spell at West Ham proved that he deserved to play at MUFC after returning to Old Trafford, but that was not the case.

Lingard added that his performance with the Hammers should have also earned him a spot at the Euros that year.

His words, “It was 2021 when I left and as I say I had been there since I was seven years old and being around the lads and the facilities there, you know everybody from such a young age.

Obviously I had different managers and different managers are going to play you or not play you – it is understandable. As a player you want to play every game so obviously I wanted to play.

I feel like after the West Ham loan spell that season, coming back, I felt like I deserved to play. I was probably one of the best players in the league at West Ham, at the time. I probably deserved to go to the Euros, in fairness.

But like I say, everything happens for a reason and to come back and play a part bit here, a part bit there – you want to play every game. Sometimes you know when your time is up and you know when it is time to leave.”

WOW.

Manchester United Football Club, commonly referred to as Man United or simply United, is a professional football club based in Old Trafford, Greater Manchester, England. The club competes in the Premier League, the top division in the English football league system.

Nicknamed the Red Devils, they were founded as Newton Heath LYR Football Club in 1878, but changed their name to Manchester United in 1902. After a spell playing in Clayton, Manchester, the club moved to their current stadium, Old Trafford, in 1910.

Alex Ferguson and his assistant Archie Knox arrived from Aberdeen on the day of Atkinson’s dismissal, and guided the club to an 11th-place finish in the league. Despite a second-place finish in 1987–88, the club was back in 11th place the following season. Reportedly on the verge of being dismissed, Ferguson’s job was saved by victory over Crystal Palace in the 1990 FA Cup final.

The following season, Manchester United claimed their first UEFA Cup Winners’ Cup title. That triumph allowed the club to compete in the European Super Cup for the first time, where United beat European Cup holders Red Star Belgrade 1–0 at Old Trafford. The club appeared in two consecutive League Cup finals in 1991 and 1992 the left and the right, but he’s not got any sense of danger yet, and empties the midfield area too readily.
