Manchester United midfielder, Jesse Lingard has urged his club to work on their mentality after losing lots of crucial points vs mid-table clubs this season.
After defeating Manchester City and Tottenham in December, Mufc has drawn with Everton and recently lost 2-0 to Watford.
Ahead of their clash vs Newcastle, Jesse said the team’s struggles against weaker teams might be down to a sense of complacency.
He added that they have to be consistent from now on if they want to do anything meaningful in the EPL this season.
His words, “It’s strange. Maybe it’s a mindset thing. Maybe it’s our mentality going into the match thinking we’ve already won the game,” Lingard told the Daily Mail.
“If we keep the consistency and mentality we had against City and Tottenham, I don’t see why we can’t win every game.
“It seems like our mentality changes. To keep that consistency throughout the rest of the season when we come against the mid-table teams, we need to have the same mentality that we did going into the City and Tottenham game.
“When we start with energy and on the front foot, we’ll cause teams problems all day long.”
On being a future captain, “I’m in between at the moment. I said at the start of the season that I would like to become a bit of a leader on and off the pitch,”
“I’ve always come through the ranks and not been that vocal, but now I’d like to take that leadership on and be a bit more responsible in the changing room before games. I’ve started to do that.
“We’ve got a lot of the academy boys coming through the ranks now. They’re getting their time to shine and are doing really well, and we’ve got experienced players as well who have won trophies. That blend is working perfectly for us at the moment.”
